The story of Rahab is found in the book of Joshua. If you’ve heard of Rahab before, I’m guessing the first description of her that comes to mind would be “prostitute” or “harlot”. That would be totally understandable, because the two times she’s mentioned in the “New Testament” Scriptures, she is described in this way. But, do you think that’s really fair?

Achsah (עכסה) was the daughter of Caleb, and we’re introduced to her in Joshua 15:13-19. Along with a parallel passage in Judges, there are only two verses that speak of a short story in her life. This story of Achsah has always intrigued me (probably because I have a son named Caleb), but it’s so brief and seems to contain nothing of spiritual value. However, when we dig beneath the surface, I found that there is plenty to consider!
