Tanach Talks Episode 2 - Joshua's Spies: Between Rahab, Lot, and how to read the Bible
Why would Joshua send spies - didn't he learn from Moses' failed experience from over forty years before? This episode discusses the story of the spies, Rahab and Jericho, using comparative techniques with other similar episodes. We look at both the Malbim's explanation for sending the spies, and at a surprising comparison between Joshua 2 and Genesis 19. We attempt to explain the meaning of the many thematic and literary parallels between the Rahab and Lot stories.
