📚 Historical Context

In the book of Joshua, the Israelites were on the cusp of entering the Promised Land after their 40 years of wandering in the wilderness following the Exodus from Egypt. Joshua, as the newly appointed leader after Moses, sent two spies to scout the fortified city of Jericho, where they were sheltered by a woman named Rahab who had faith in Israel's God. After escaping danger and returning, the spies reported all their experiences to Joshua to help plan the next steps in the conquest.
