Joshua 2:1-7
Two spies who look over the land from Shittim sent by Joshua entered the house of a prostitute named Rahab.
Rahab had taken them up to the roof and hidden them under the stalks of flax shed had laid out on the roof.
Why?
Jericho, the 'city of palm trees', lies just west of the River Jordan. Joshua's intention was to make his first thrust into the centre of the land, driving a wedge(楔) between north and south. Jericho stood directly in his path, and obvious first target.
Rahab's action in harbouring the spies stemmed not from fear but from belief that Israel's God is the true God.
How?
Make a decision when chance is come, danger and chance are between.
