  Rahab's Sisters
Rahab's Sisters is a non-profit organization that provides hospitality, presence, and support to women working in the sex industry on 82nd Avenue.
Like the original Rahab, we strive to give "friendly welcome" to those who would otherwise be on the streets and in danger.
We are a growing group of women—clergy and lay, Episcopal and non-affiliated—who are committed to continuing the ministry of Jesus in the world by providing hospitality and friendship to women who are among the poorest and most marginalized in our city.

  Rahab (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
They had been exposed to danger in Jericho, and had been saved by the fidelity of Rahab the harlot, to whose house they had gone for protection.
When the city of Jericho fell (6:17-25), Rahab and her whole family were preserved according to the promise of the spies, and were incorporated among the Jewish people.
She afterwards became the wife of Salmon, a prince of the tribe of Judah (Ruth 4:21; 1 Chr.

 Singing in the Window: Rahab's Subversive Song by Barbara K. Lundblad   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Rahab had not stood at the foot of Sinai, nor had she been numbered among the tribes of Israel.
Rahab pleads with those who would conquer any land in the name of God-- for she knows that the Lord is God of heaven and earth and will not be held captive by any nation.
And then Rahab lying-- not just to save her life but to erase that terrible border between "insider" and "outsider," to remind us that when we enter the land of promise this is God's calling to us: to erase those boundaries between "insider" and "outsider." She risked her life to do that.

 Grace Points: Rahab and Paul
The evidences of Rahab's faith are seen in her testimony, in the fact that she hid the spies and made a covenant with them, and in other ways.
And of Rahab's family it would doubtless be her sisters who would most loathe to enter in, having been most deeply hurt by her conduct.
Rahab's physical deliverance (she was already saved, spiritually) before the judgment of Jericho, reminds us that we, who belong to the Pauline dispensation, will be delivered from this doomed world before God's judgment falls upon it (See I Thes 4:135:10).

Scripture tells us that the leader of the angelic civilizations was the most favored of the cherubim, who later led the rebellion against God, for which the angelic civilizations were punished.
The rebel angels were judged with a blast of giant stones from Rahab, destroying the civilization at Cydonia that once gave glory to God.
God's judgment on the rebels continued, as the incomprehensibly violent and genetically unlikely dinosaurs, the very image of the dragon, "that old serpent", were destroyed with another chunk of the rebel cherub's planet.

 Bible Study - Rahab
Rahab has been considered as an example of active faith, and despite whatever her past may have been before her turning to the true God, she was later considered among the righteous:
By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given friendly welcome to the spies.
Rahab later married an Israelite, Salmon, and by means of that marriage became one of the actual physical ancestors of Jesus Christ, through King David (see also The Chosen People):

 RAHAB in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
True to their promise, the Israelites under Joshua spared Rahab and her family (Josh 6:16 ff the King James Version); "And," says the author of Josh, "she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day." Her story appealed strongly to the imagination of the people of later times.
Heb 11:31 speaks of her as having been saved by faith; James, on the other hand, in demonstrating that a man is justified by works and not by faith only, curiously chooses the same example (Jas 2:25).
Jewish tradition has been kindly disposed toward Rahab; one hypothesis goes so far as to make her the wife of Joshua himself (Jew Encyclopedia, under the word).

 Joshua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After exploring it by spies Joshua invested it, finally capturing it.
A curse was pronounced over the ruins, and every man, woman, and child in the city was killed save Rahab and her paternal family; they being spared because she had betrayed her city and shown hospitality to the Hebrew spies.
Joshua became famous by this victory as is attested to by the many folk as well as art songs which are song about his victory.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Astronomy in the Bible
The Euphratean constellation Draco is of hoary antiquity, and would quite probably have been familiar to Job.
On the other hand, Rahab (Job 9:13; 21:12), translated "whale" in the Septuagint, is probably of legendary or symbolical import.
The subjoined list gives (largely on Schiaparelli's authority) the best-warranted interpretations of biblical star-names:
