²⁵ But Rahab the prostitute and her father's household and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive. And ^(A)she has lived in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

³¹ By faith ^(A)Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she ^(B)had given a friendly welcome to the spies.

²⁵ And in the same way was not also ^(A)Rahab the prostitute justified by works ^(B)when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

⁵ and Salmon the father of Boaz by ^(A)Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse,

²⁴ And the spies saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, “Please show us the way into the city, ^(A)and we will deal kindly with you.” ²⁵ And he showed them the way into 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 she had brought them up to the roof and hid them with the stalks of flax that she had laid in order on the roof.

¹⁹ There was not a city that made peace with the people of Israel except ^(A)the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took them all in battle. ²⁰ For it was the Lord's doing ^(B)to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be devoted to destruction and should receive no mercy but be destroyed, ^(C)just as the Lord commanded Moses.

⁹ And Joshua set up^[a] twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, ^(A)in the place where the feet of the priests bearing the ark of the covenant had stood; and they are there to this day.
