Changed: Rahab
•
Joanne Hagemeyer
The Bible does not varnish the truth about Rahab, she was a woman of her day and of her culture. Both the Hebrew and Greek words for her mean “harlot,” though there is evidence she was also an innkeeper, a merchant, and very possibly a brewer. Canaanites were also idolaters, whose morals and lifestyle went entirely against the grain of God's ways as given to the Hebrews. Now, God was going to give this land, including Rahab's city, to God's own people. How could an idolatrous Canaanite prostitute ever hope to escape what was coming? Listen as we talk about Rahab's remarkable story, and the jaw-dropping change she experienced.
