LET’S GO DEEPER:
1. Who are the 5 women named in Jesus’ genealogy? Are there any similarities with them? Why do you think they are listed?


2. What can we learn about Rahab from her statement in Ch 2:9? What do we learn about God and His plans?


3. What lessons can we learn from the act of sparing Rahab and her family but destroying everything else in Jericho?


4. Why was the specific instruction given to avoid the things devoted to destruction? What implications might this hold for us today?
