Their mission was to gather intelligence on Jericho, a key city in the conquest of Canaan. The spies' successful mission was crucial for Israel's strategy. The act of sending spies shows Joshua's wisdom and military acumen, reflecting a pattern seen in <a href="/numbers/13.htm">Numbers 13</a> when Moses sent spies into Canaan. This also highlights the continuity of leadership from Moses to Joshua.“Go into the house of the prostitute Rahab, identified as a prostitute, lived in Jericho. Her house was strategically located on the city wall, which provided the spies an escape route (<a href="/joshua/2-15.htm">Joshua 2:15</a>).

This act of salvation prefigures the deliverance offered through Christ, where faith leads to salvation for the believer and their household (<a href="/acts/16-31.htm">Acts 16:31</a>).just as you promised her.” The promise made by the spies to Rahab (<a href="/joshua/2-14.htm">Joshua 2:14</a>) is fulfilled here, emphasizing the importance of faithfulness and integrity. This fulfillment of a promise is a reflection of God's faithfulness to His covenants.
