Joshua 2

Yehoshua sends two spies from Shittim to Yericho, where Rahab the zonah hides them from the Melekh of Yericho and confesses faith in YHWH, securing their safety and extracting a promise to spare her family when Yisrael conquers the city. The spies return after seven days, reporting that the land's inhabitants tremble before Yisrael.[1]
