Who offered protection to the spies in Jericho?

• A. Rahab
• B. Lot
• C. Ruth
• D. Esther

Answer: (A)

Rahab offered protection to the spies in Jericho because she believed the Lord would give Israel the land and chose to aid them. She hid the spies on her roof, deceived the king’s men, and arranged for their escape, asking that her family be spared when Jericho fell. The spies agreed to protect her family if she demonstrated her faith by hanging a scarlet cord in her window as a sign. This act of trust and courage is why she’s remembered for protecting the spies. The other women mentioned—Lot, Ruth, and Esther—are known for different stories and do not pertain to the Jericho episode.
