Joshua 2:1-24

Key Verse 2:17-18


1. Read v. 1 and compare this spy mission with the one that took place forty years ago (cf. Numbers 13, 14). What do they have in common? Yet how are they different? Why do you think the two entered the house of a prostitute? What wisdom does this passage teach us in fighting the Lord's battle (Mt 10:16)? 


2. Read vs. 2-3 and describe the nature of the intelligence information the king of Jericho was informed of. Is there any warning for God's children to heed (cf. Lk 16:8)? 


3. Read vs. 4-7. What does this passage tell us about "the woman"? What does this passage tell us about the importance of women in fighting the Lord's battle?


4. Read vs. 8-13. What kind of wisdom is there for us to learn in fighting the Lord's battle and being able to win all the time?


5. Read vs. 14-16 and describe the further help she offered. What does this show us about the woman? What can we learn from her?


6. Read vs. 17-21. The word "unless" is repeated twice. How do the conditions that follow the word "unless" remind us of the way of salvation in the Lord (cf. Exodus 12:13)? 


7. Read vs. 22-24 and describe the report they brought back to Joshua. In what respect do you think this kind of good report was necessary for Joshua (cf. 1Th 1:5)?
