Miss Patty taught you Rahab hung a red rope. She left out the Hebrew word for hope, the Passover typology, and why Rahab ends up in the genealogy of Yeshua.
I always explained to my kids in Sunday School that Rahab had lots of boyfriends who bought her pretty things and helped her buy groceries. When my 18 year old granddaughter won the “Social Butterfly” superlative at her high school last week she reminded me that Rahab would have won it too. We laughed and laughed. 🥰
Thank you again She”s So Scripture for a wonderful word. May I comment on two words? You said that Rahab’s testimony mentioned Adonai. You and I both know that’s not the name she used. But I deeply respect you/your faith and will not use that word here, but she used Israel’s deeply personal name for God — and I think that’s a profound link in her story.
Another word you did not use was Rahab’s profession and I think you avoided it on purpose. Thank you! We get so wrapped up into that naughty profession (even the “scarlet light district”) that we fail to see the hope of the connecting cord!
Yes, we substitute Adonai for the Name out of respect. In less formal ways (outside scripture and prayer) we use Hashem (literally The Name). And yes, you noted correctly… I avoided it on purpose.
