Verse Takeaways

Who are Rahab's Helpers?
Commentators explain that "Rahab" in this verse is not the woman from Jericho but a symbolic name representing pride or a powerful adversary. The "helpers of Rahab" are variously interpreted as the armies of Egypt, mythical monsters, ancient giants, or even demonic forces. The consistent theme is that they represent the strongest conceivable powers that oppose God.
