The Bible says that Rahab "received the messengers hospitably." (James 2:25) She took them into her home, and even if she had suspicions about who they were and why they were there, she let the men stay. Perhaps she hoped to learn more about their God, Jehovah.
Suddenly, though, messengers from the king of Jericho arrived! Word had spread that the spies had come to the house of Rahab. What would Rahab do? If she protected those two strangers, might she not put herself and entire household at risk? Would not the people of Jericho slaughter them all if she sheltered such enemies? On the other hand, Rahab could now have no doubt about the identity of the men. If she already knew that Jehovah was a far better God than her own, might this be her opportunity to take stand on Jehovah's side?
