In the same way, wasn’t Rahab the prostitute[a]
also justified[b] by works (her)
action, in that when she received the
messengers, and sent them out another way?[c]
a Gk. Ῥαὰβ ἡ πόρνη; differentiates this Rahab from other Rahabs: Rehob [Ρααβ] in Num. 13:21, Jo. 19:28, Jo. 21:31; Jgs. 18:28; Rehob [Ρααβ] king of Zobah in 2 Kgs. 8:3, 12; Rahab [Ρααβ] (Egypt?) in Ps. 86:4.
b Authenticated? Rahab's "justification" is temporal, not spiritual; whereas Abraham was δικαιόω-ed before God, Rahab was δικαιόω-ed before men by making good on her professed allegiance.
c Rahab professed,
I know that the Lord has given you the land ... the Lord your God, he is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath....(Joshua 2:9-11 ESV); and she hide the Israelite spies, misdirected the King's pursuers, helped the spies escape, and did not
tell this business of ours(Joshua 9:14 ESV). As a consequence, Rahab
and her father's household and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive. And she has lived in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho(Joshua 6:25 ESV).
