In the ancient Hebrew writings, there is an oddity. Very few women are mentioned. Fewer still have a lineage that can be traced. Rahab, the harlot, is among those. This is a story of what may have been.
On that fateful day when Rahab protected the spies, she could not have imagined what would happen next. In modern terms, she was going from Amsterdam to the Amish. Rahab would exit a culture where her profession was part of the mainstream to a culture where it did not exist. She leaves a city where she had access to the palace for a place where the best structure was a tent.
Rahab was in for an emotional roller coaster. So enjoy the ride, and if you pick up a tidbit that benefits you along the way, the author would be extremely pleased.
