| Hello again prayon! "the cord of scarlet thread": The spies gave Rahab a line of scarlet cord to hang out the window as a sign of the agreement they had made. Scarlet, unlike drab green, brown, gray, etc., is better seen to mark the house for protection. The color is also fitting for these whose blood (v.19) was under God's pledge of safety. The function of the red marker was similar to that of the blood of the Passover lamb when the Lord struck down the firstborn of Egypt (see Ex. 12:7,13,22-23). The early church viewed the blood-colored cord as a type (symbol) of Christ's atonement. Also, the scarlet thread would enable the invading Israelites to identify the house they were to spare. This is probably not the same rope she used to let the spies down, since the words are different ('cord' v. 18, 'rope' v. 15). The cord's color also alludes to the story of Tamar, since a scarlet thread was tied to the wrist of her first son (Gen. 38:28,30). Both of these women were non-Israelite ancestors of Jesus (Matt. 1:3,5).

| Great anaswer Nolan! One would wonder why the spies would carry a scarlet cord though. They were trying to blend in and not look suspicious. I do not think everyone would carry a scarlet cord around and it must of been bulky. | ||||||
| 4 | Spies gave her? | Josh 2:18 | Searcher56 | 8619 | ||
| Prayon ... I first thought it was what she used to let them down with (vs. 15), but the words are different. In verse 15, it is chebel and in verse 18, chuwt - which could of been a thread from one of their garments or even hers. It was not very bulky, as the rope would of been. Searching Scripture Steve PS Nolan, I hope you don't my two cents. |
