So ? what your saying is ? she lived in her house alone ?

Would not it be possible for some of her family to live in the house ?
It was not like American, where, adults move away from their parents... this was middle east culture, it is likely that most females until they marry stayed with their parents....
In the worst case, she was banished, from her family, but, this is not the case, he bought her family with her if that is what your saying...
Why would all these translation say she was a harlot ?
It seems, most feminist have a problem with that.....
But, what they don't realize is ? through her line, her heritage, family line, down through the ages, GOD through his mercy did bring Christ through her family by Jesus's adopted father Joseph, because Jesus was born of a VIRGIN, and not by Joseph.....
BOAZ mother was ... Rahab, OBED, was BOAZ's father, and Ruth was BOAZ mother, and Obed, was Jesse's father, who's son was KING DAVID...
Yeah, most feminist would celebrate Jezebel, but, she was a wicked woman and Queen...

I read what is Written. And what is Written does not indicate anything about Rahab as being a hooker as she is labeled. Nothing Written about her indicates she makes a living off selling herself for income, except that she is called a harlot.

Now given she knew who these men were and what the LORD had promised was going to happen, where did she get this information, not likely something some 'john' pass on in pillow talk. The label does not fit the story and so I question the label.
