Judges 1:25

And when he shewed them the entrance into the city, they smote the city with the edge of the sword; but they let go the man and all his family.

Cross-reference

In Joshua 6:22-25, Rahab and her family are spared during Jericho's fall—the same pattern of saving an informant that occurs here.

Joshua 6:25 Parallel

Joshua 6:25 explicitly states Rahab was saved alive—a direct parallel to the man and his family being spared here.

Joshua 2:14 Allusion

Joshua 2:14 records the spies' oath to spare Rahab—the earlier promise that prefigures the informant's deliverance here.
