The story
Joshua sent two spies into the big city of Jericho. A woman named Rahab lived in a house built right into the city wall. She let the spies come in.
The king heard about the spies! “Bring them out!” he ordered. But Rahab had hidden them on her roof, under big piles of flax stalks. Shh!
Rahab told the spies, “I know your God is the true God. Please be kind to my family when you come back.” The spies said, “We promise!”
Rahab helped the spies climb down the outside of the wall with a long red rope. Down, down, down they went, safe into the dark.
“Hang this red rope in your window,” the spies said. “Bring your family inside. When we come back, everyone in this house will be safe.”
And that is just what happened! Rahab and all her family were kept safe. Rahab trusted God, and God took care of her. Brave faith!
