This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
31. πίστει. Jos 2:9-11, “The Lord your God, He is God.”
ἡ πόρνη. So she is called in Jos 2:1; Jam 2:25; and it shews the faithfulness of the sacred narrative that her name is even introduced as well as that of Ruth, a Moabitess, in the genealogy of our Lord (Mat 1:5). The Targum softens it down into “innkeeper” and others render it “idolatress.” Her name was highly honoured by the Jews, who said that eight prophets—among them Baruch, Jeremiah, and Shallum, and the prophetess Huldah—were descended from her. Megillah, f. 14. 2.
τοῖς ἀπειθήσασιν. “That were disobedient.”
