This proper noun identifies Rahab, the Canaanite woman who lived in Jericho and protected the Israelite spies sent by Joshua. Despite being a prostitute and a Gentile, Rahab demonstrated faith in Israel's God, hid the spies, and secured safety for her family when Jericho fell. Matthew includes Rahab in Jesus' genealogy, one of only four women named, highlighting God's inclusion of Gentiles and moral outsiders in the messianic line. The multilingual glosses transliterate her name, recognizing her as a significant figure in salvation history.
