| The Preparation of Rahab’s Faith –
The news of how the God of Israel had
miraculously delivered the Israelites from
Egyptian slavery has spread across the land.
- That news frightened the Canaanites
because they knew Israel’s God had
promised the land they were living on
to Abraham and his descendants forever.
- According to Genesis 10 and Numbers
34, the land of Canaan included Judea, Samaria,
Lebanon, Israel, parts of Jordan, and Syria; from
the Red Sea to the Nile River;
from the Mediterranean Sea to the
Euphrates River.
- Compare this with the small size of the state
of Israel today.
