• The Beginner's Bible App  Stories:  Joshua and the Spies (This app is good for several reasons.  As the text is read, each word is highlighted, so it's excellent for beginning readers.  This is an app version of The Beginner's Bible, so it's good to have the printed book for kids to use at home too. In class we wait until the text has been read and then take turns with the interactive parts.)

Song(s)

Rahab Song,*

Joshua 2:1-21; 6:25

(Tune:  This Old Man)

Two Spies came

 to Jericho.

Soldiers looked both high and low.

With a pile of straw

And a cord of Scarlet red

Rahab hid the men to show her trust in God.

Two spies hid

In the straw.

Soldiers looked and never saw.

With a pile of straw

And a cord of scarlet red,

Rahab hid the men to show her trust in God.

Two spies left.

They climbed down.

Out the window, out of town.

With a pile of straw

And a cord of Scarlet red

Rahab hid the men to show her trust in God.

God’s people came

To the wall.

Rahab’s family stayed safe in the fall.

With a pile of straw

And a cord of Scarlet red

Rahab hid the men to show her trust in God.

*I found this song in my files, but I don’t know the origin of this song. Also, I changed the last line of the chorus from "Rahab showed how brave she was" to "Rahab hid the men to show her trust in God."
