²⁵ And Joshua spared Rahab the harlot, her father’s household, and all that she had. So ^(A)she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

³¹ By faith ^(A)the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who ^[a]did not believe, when ^(B)she had received the spies with peace.

²⁵ Likewise, ^(A)was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

⁵ Salmon begot ^(A)Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse,

²⁴ And when the spies saw a man coming out of the city, they said to him, “Please show us the entrance to the city, and ^(A)we will show you mercy.” ²⁵ So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.

⁶ (But ^(A)she had brought them up to the roof and hidden them with the stalks of flax, which she had laid in order on the roof.)

¹⁹ There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except ^(A)the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the others they took in battle. ²⁰ For ^(B)it was of the Lord ^[a]to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, ^(C)as the Lord had commanded Moses.

⁹ Then Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.
