In chapter one of the book of Joshua, the Lord commands Joshua--as Moses's successor--to lead His people across the Jordan River into the land of Canaan, the very land He had promised Abraham.
The Lord told Joshua that they are not to be afraid, for He will be with them at all times.
Joshua then gave the Israelites a peptalk, ordering them about how they are to cross the Jordan River and take over the land the Lord had promised them.
Chapter two deals with two spies Joshua sent over to the city of Jericho. The spies end up at a house of a prostitute named Rahab. Somehow the king of Jericho learns of the spies and even of their location. In the meantime, Rahab hides the spies up to the roof, underneath stalks of flax.
The spies then leave, with the promise that Rahab and her family was not to be harmed when the Israelites attack Jericho.
