Verse 9 is found in chapter 2 of Joshua. Rahab explains to the spies why Jericho fears Israel: the report of the exodus and the victories east of the Jordan have transformed how Israel is perceived in Canaan. Her confession that the Lord is God "in heaven above and on earth below" constitutes a remarkable theological statement within a conquest narrative. Rahab is not speaking merely of military power; she recognizes the universal sovereignty of Israel’s God and asks for mercy for her family.
