In 1881, the Dalziel brothers published a bound volume of prints illustrating Bible stories made from woodblock engravings by various artists, including Frederick Richard Pickersgill and Simeon Solomon. In this image, Rahab is hiding the Israelite spies during their first foray into the Promised Land. Sent by Joshua, the spies went to Rahab’s house, where she hid them from the king of Jericho on the roof. She had heard of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, and their military successes. She declared to the spies, “for the Lord your God is God in heaven above and on the earth below” (Josh 2:11). In exchange for hiding them on the roof under bundles of flax, she asked for their “kindness” in sparing her family from death in the upcoming battle (Josh 2:12–13). After the spies descended from the roof, the instructions were for her to keep a scarlet cord in the window (Josh 2:21). After Jericho fell to the Israelites, Joshua sent the spies back to Rahab’s house to gather and rescue her and her family, and she “lived among the Israelites” (Josh 6:22–24). In the genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1:5, Rahab is listed as the wife of Salmon and the mother of Boaz.
