Clement of Rome
"Promise me by the Lord that as I have shown kindness to you, so you will show kindness to my family and provide me with a sign of assurance. The men replied to her, 'When the Lord gives us the land, we will extend to you mercy and faithfulness.' The spies assured Rahab, 'It shall be as you have said; once you learn of our arrival, gather everyone into your home, and they will be safe, but those who remain outside will meet their end.' They then indicated for her to tie a scarlet cord from her window, demonstrating that all who place their faith in God would receive salvation through the blood of the Lord. Beloved, recognize that this woman possessed not only faith but also prophetic insight."
