  1  Rahab receives and conceals the two spies sent from
    Shittim.
 8  The covenant between her and them.
23  Their return and relation.


VERSE 1
- sent.  or, had sent.  Shittim.
   * Nu 25:1; 33:49

  Though the word {zonah} generally denotes a prostitute, yet
  many very learned men are of opinion that it should be here
  rendered an innkeeper or hostess, from {zoon,} to furnish or
  provide food.  In this sense it was understood by the
  Targumist, who renders it, {ittetha pundekeetha,} "a woman, a
  tavern-keeper," and so St. Chrysostome, in his second sermon
  on Repentance, calls her [             .]  The Greek [      ,]
  by which the LXX. render it, and which is adopted by the
  Apostles, is derived from [            ,] to sell, and is also
  supposed to denote a tavern keeper.  Among the ancients, women
  generally kept houses of entertainment.  Herodotus says,
  "Among the Egyptians, the women carry on all commercial
  concerns, and keep taverns, while the men continue at home and
  weave."  The same custom prevailed among the Greeks.

  It is observable that in this enumeration of her kindred,
  there is no mention made of a husband.  It is most likely that
  she was a single woman or widow, who obtained an honest
  livelihood by keeping a house for the entertainment of
  strangers; and not a woman of ill fame, as some have supposed.
  The spies sent on this occasion were certainly some of the
  most confidential persons that Joshua had in his host, and
  their errand was of the greatest importance; is it then not
  most likely that they lodged at an inn?
