Joshua 6:22
“Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.””
What does Joshua 6:22 mean?
When Joshua's spies were hiding in Rahab's home during the siege of Jericho, they promised to protect her and her family in exchange for her help. Now, as the city falls and Joshua's army prepares to destroy it, Joshua makes sure that promise is kept, sending those same two men to rescue Rahab. This moment reveals something beautiful about how God's people are called to honor their word, even when circumstances change dramatically and no one would blame them for forgetting. It also shows that Rahab, despite her background and social status, earned genuine respect through her courage and faith, and she receives the protection that faithfulness deserves.
