Joshua 2:12-21
Summary for Josh 2:12-13: 2:12-13 a Rahab’s request demonstrated her faith in Israel and Israel’s God.2:14 b When Israel attacked Jericho, Joshua and the two spies kept their promise to spare Rahab (6:22 c).
2:15 d Because Rahab’s house stood on the town wall, she could hide the men on the flat roof of her house (2:6 e) and let them out through the window, down the outer side of the wall.
2:16 f The hill country of central Canaan began its steep rise just west of Jericho. Thinking that the two spies would head directly to Israel’s camp across the Jordan, the pursuers from Jericho would naturally head eastward. When the pursuers gave up, the spies could slip across the Jordan unhindered.
2:19 g it will not be our fault. But ... we will accept the responsibility: The spies used a standard formula to accept responsibility for any of Rahab’s family remaining with her in her house, but not for those who did not.
