Rahab — Woman of Jericho who hid Israel's spies, was spared when the city fell, and is remembered for her faith.
Spouses
- Salmon husband Interpretive Matthew 1:5
Matthew 1:5 says Salmon fathered Boaz "by Rahab". That she is Rahab of Jericho (Joshua 2; 6) is the usual reading; Matthew does not say so, and the marriage is not recorded elsewhere.
Children
- Boaz son Interpretive Matthew 1:5
Matthew 1:5 names Rahab as the mother of Boaz. Her identification with Rahab of Jericho is an interpretation.
Grandchildren and later descendants
- Obed grandchild
