EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Rahab Concealing the Spies" takes us back to biblical times, specifically to a scene from the Book of Joshua. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases Rahab's courageous act of hiding Israelite spies within her home. The image depicts Rahab, a harlot living in Jericho, skillfully concealing two spies sent by Joshua. With great determination and resourcefulness, she hides them under stalks of flax on her rooftop while deceiving the king's men who were searching for them. This act of bravery ultimately saves their lives and contributes to the eventual conquest of Jericho by the Israelites. Featured as an illustration in Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible Superior Edition from around 1880, this artwork beautifully captures both the tension and faith displayed throughout this Old Testament story. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly insignificant individuals can play crucial roles in fulfilling divine plans. With its intricate details and evocative composition, this engraving transports viewers into ancient times while highlighting themes such as trust, loyalty, and redemption found not only in Hebrew Bible stories but also resonating through Psalms and New Testament teachings. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their collection without any commercial intent or use. As we gaze upon it today, let us reflect on Rahab's bravery and consider how our own actions can shape history in unexpected ways.
