Rahab's Practical Wisdom
Commentators note that Rahab's instructions were not just a desperate plea but a well-reasoned plan. She directs the spies to the nearby mountains, a known refuge. Her suggestion to hide for three days is seen by scholars not as a divine prophecy, but as a shrewd calculation of how long it would take the pursuers to search the Jordan fords and return empty-handed. Her faith was accompanied by practical wisdom.
