(Story on the back of the card)

Joshua sent two men as spies over Jordan to look at the land of Canaan before the children of Israel entered it. In the city of Jericho, they went into the house of a woman named Rahab.

The king of Jericho learned that two spies were at Rahab's house, so he sent orders to bring the men to him. Instead of obeying the king's orders, Rahab hid the spies under some stalks of flax that were spread out to dry on the flat roof of her house.

The king's messengers came to Rahab's house, but they could not find the hidden men. After they left, Rahab told the spies that she knew the Lord had given the land to the children of Israel, for the people of Canaan had heard how He made the Red Sea dry for them to cross over it and then helped them in fighting against their enemies. Because of this, Rahab said the Canaanites were afraid of the Israelites. She asked the two men to remember her kindness to them and not let her or any of her family be put to death when the children of Israel took over the city of Jericho. And the men said that if she would tell no one of their coming, they would do as she asked....
