The author is using the phrase a woman, a prostitute to introduce Rahab as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you can use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: “a certain woman named Rahab, who was a prostitute”

Rāḩāⱱ
Rahab is the name of a woman.
2:1 Acacia Grove was about eight miles east of the Jordan River on the plains of Moab, across from Jericho (see Num 25:1).
• In the house of a prostitute strangers could avoid unwanted attention. According to tradition, Rahab was an innkeeper as well as a prostitute (Josephus, Antiquities 5.1.2). Other evidence from the ancient Near East suggests that women who owned and operated inns were often prostitutes.
