says she had one little request after Jericho fell but is still remembered as Rahab the PROSTITUTE (Josh 2:1, 6:17, 23, & 25).
Rahab is named in Joshua 2 and 6. In three of those verses (2:1, 6:17, and 6:25) she is specifically called “Rahab the prostitute” (or “the harlot”). The New Testament does the same in Hebrews 11:31 and James 2:25.
She hid the spies, got her whole family out of Jericho, appears in Jesus’ genealogy, and is listed in the Hall of Faith. And yet the label keeps showing up.
The cartoon is just pointing out the awkwardness. The Bible never quite lets her leave the title behind.
