IF Rahab was a hooker, why did she have enough flax drying on her roof to hide two men?

Are you saying that Rahab's profession prevented the presence of flax on her roof? This sounds fascinating. Please expand upon your initial statement.

Interesting word that was used for "harlot".

It meant something along the lines of "well fed", which for a woman USUALLY meant she was able to afford plenty of food, because she sold herself.

With all that flax on her roof, AND two houses (read carefully, and you'll notice that tidbit), I strongly suspect it wasn't her body she was sucessfully selling...even if it was says she was CALLED a harlot.

I've been called a few things, too; some were even true, though many weren't.
