What does the Bible say about the faith of Rahab?

In Hebrews 11:31, it states, 'By faith, the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.' Rahab's faith distinguishes her from the rest of Jericho's inhabitants; she believed God's promises and recognized His power as demonstrated through Israel's victories. Despite her background as a harlot, her faith in God's word led her to protect the spies, and along with her family, she was spared from destruction during the fall of Jericho. This narrative exemplifies how true faith can arise even from the most unlikely of people and signifies the mercy of God toward sinners.
