Commentary on Hebrews 11:31

Theological / Devotional

By faith. See on verses 1, 3.

Rahab. For the record of the incident here referred to see Joshua 2:1-24; 6:23-25. At first glance the name of Rahab may seem out of place in this roster of heroes of faith, for she was a heathen as well as a harlot. But this very fact makes her deed of faith all the more remarkable. For an insight into her thinking see Joshua 2:8-13. Her name appears also in Matthew’s genealogy (see on Matthew 1:5) as one of the honored progenitors of Christ.
