OET (OET-RV) But Yehoshua spared the prostitute Rahab and her father’s household and her other relatives because she hid the men that Yehoshua had sent in to spy on Yericho, and she still lives in Yisrael to this day.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:13–6:27 Israel conquered Jericho by God’s power

The Israelites followed God’s instructions and marched around the wall of Jericho town. On the seventh day the wall of the town collapsed and they conquered the town. They killed everybody in it except for Rahab and her family.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The wall of Jericho fell

The conquering of Jericho

6:25a

And Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her father’s household and all who belonged to her,

And Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her father’s household and all who belonged to her: The clause Rahab the prostitute, with her father’s household and all who belonged to her is the object of the sentence. The Hebrew text puts this first for emphasis. Use the natural grammatical patterns of your language to give this emphasis.

And Joshua spared: The clause Joshua spared indicates that Joshua did not allow the soldiers to kill Rahab along with the other people of Jericho.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

Joshua saved alive (RSV)

The two spies brought Rahab and her family to safety outside of Jericho. However, Joshua was the person who had authority and told them to do this.

her father’s household and all who belonged to her: The phrase her father’s household and all who belonged to her refers to Rahab’s extended family. This is the same group of people referred to in 6:23.

6:25b

because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.

because she hid the men Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho: The word men refers to the two young spies.

to spy out Jericho: The phrase to spy out Jericho indicates that Joshua sent the two men to Jericho to learn about the town and the surrounding area.

6:25c

So she has lived among the Israelites to this day.

So she has lived among the Israelites: The family of Rahab and her descendants became part of the nation of Israel. There is an interpretation issue with the Hebrew verb that the BSB translates as she has lived.

  1. It refers to Rahab. For example:

    she has lived in Israel to this day (ESV) (BSB, ESV, RSV, NIV, NASB, NET, NJPS, NLT, KJV)

  2. It refers to Rahab’s descendants. For example:

    her descendants have lived in Israel to this day (GNT) (GNT, NABRE, NRSV, CEV)

It is recommended that you follow option (1). This agrees with the Hebrew text and is followed by many English versions and by Bible commentaries.6:25 See, for example, Woudstra, p. 115, and Dallaire, p. 899.

to this day: The phrase to this day refers to the time that the book of Joshua was written. The descendants of Rahab were still living among the Israelites at the time the author wrote the book.

General Comment on 6:25

In some languages it may be more natural to reorder the parts of this verse. The Hebrew text separates the reason clause (6:25c) from the result clause (6:25a) and these can be put together. For example:

25aBut Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute, with her family and all who belonged to her, 25cbecause she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho—25band she lives among the Israelites to this day. (NIV)

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second phrase gives the reason for the result that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: [Because Rahab hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy on Jericho, Joshua kept her and the house of her father and all who belonged to her alive. And she has dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day] or [Because Rahab hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy on Jericho, Joshua kept her alive, and the house of her father and all who belonged to her. And she has dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day]

and,she_has_dwelt in,the_midst_of Yisrael until the=day the=this

Depending on when this account was written, the word she could refer to: (1) Rahab herself. Alternate translation: [And Rahab has dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day] (2) Rahab’s descendants. Alternate translation: [And Rahab’s descendants have dwelt in the midst of Israel to this day]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל

Yisrael

The author is speaking of the Israelite people by association with the man Israel from whom they descended. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the people of Israel]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

עַ֖ד הַ⁠יּ֣וֹם הַ⁠זֶּ֑ה

until the=day the=this

See how you translated the same expression in [4:9](../04/09.md) and [5:9](../05/09.md). Alternate translation: [right up to this time]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

6:25 The statement that Rahab lives among the Israelites to this day affirms the breadth and depth of God’s grace. Rahab was not only accepted into Israel; she ultimately was an ancestor of the Messiah (see Matt 1:5).

OET (OET-RV) But Yehoshua spared the prostitute Rahab and her father’s household and her other relatives because she hid the men that Yehoshua had sent in to spy on Yericho, and she still lives in Yisrael to this day.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
