Verse 6 is found in chapter 2 of Joshua. The sending of the spies to Jericho introduces a scene in which military information is subordinated to providential action. Rahab recognizes that the God of Israel has caused fear among the inhabitants of Canaan and decides to protect the messengers. Her statement shows that knowledge of God’s works had already reached the surrounding peoples. The narrative also emphasizes that Rahab’s faith is expressed through a concrete decision to side with the God of Israel and risk herself to protect His messengers.

Sie aber ließ sie auf das Dach steigen und verdeckte sie unter die Flachsstengel, die sie auf dem Dache ausgebreitet hatte.
Mas ella los había hecho subir al terrado, y habíalos escondido entre tascos de lino que en aquel terrado tenía puestos.
Elle les avait fait monter sur le toit, et les avait cachés sous des tiges de lin, qu'elle avait arrangées sur le toit.
Or essa li avea fatti salir sul tetto, e li avea nascosti sotto del lino non ancora gramolato, il quale ella avea disteso sopra il tetto.
Porém ela os tinha feito subir ao eirado, e os tinha escondido entre as canas do linho, que pusera em ordem sobre o eirado.
