Question: What was the name of the woman who helped the Israelite spies escape from the king of Jericho?

Answer: Rahab

Interesting Tidbit: Rahab hid the spies under stalks of flax on her rooftop and lowered them down the city wall with a rope. The scarlet cord she hung from her window to identify her house during Jericho's destruction became a symbol of salvation through faith.
