📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Joshua, two Israelite spies were sent to Jericho to scout the land before the Israelites' conquest of Canaan, as part of God's plan to fulfill His promise to Abraham's descendants. Rahab, a resident of Jericho and likely involved in the city's commercial activities, hid these spies on her roof under stalks of flax, which was a common practice in ancient Near Eastern homes where flat roofs were used for drying and storing agricultural products. This act of protection occurred during a time of tension, as the king of Jericho sought to capture the spies, highlighting the risks involved in Rahab's decision.
