From Background Notes [BN] for Sept 17th & 18th written
by Pastor Bob Brown:
Joshua's account of the spies' return
exudes enthusiasm and embryonic courage.
Recounting the events of the past
three or four days, they declare: "Truly Yahweh has given all the land
into our hands. And also, all the inhabitants of the land melt away because of
us." Not their words, but Rahab's
words! They base their mission on the words of Rahab the harlot? Perhaps they
simply marveled at how much she believed about their God. Or how much she was
willing to surrender with courage, in exchange for salvation. Or the glitter of
the bright red cord hanging in her window that they hoped soon they would seen
again as sign and symbol that salvation had come to this woman's house. [BN,4]
