“And she said unto the men, I know that the Lord hath given you the land, and that your terror is fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land faint because of you.”
And she said to the men, 'I know that the LORD has given this land to you and that fear of you has fallen upon us, and that all the inhabitants of the land melt in fear before you' — Rahab's confession begins with explicit knowledge of Israel's covenant status: 'the LORD has given this land to you.' The report of Jericho's terror echoes the language of earlier plagues and the Red Sea crossing. Rahab testifies that God's reputation and power have already conquered the land before any military engagement.
