This class covers Yehoshua Chapter 2, examining how the mission of the two spies to Jericho serves as a rectification of the sin of the original twelve spies. The narrative focuses on Rachav’s protection of the spies, her declaration of faith in Hashem based on hearing about the splitting of the Reed Sea and the defeat of the Amorite kings, and the spies’ return with the opposite message of the original scouts—that the inhabitants of the land are terrified and demoralized. The red thread sign, the conditions of the oath to save Rachav’s family, and the strategic differences between Yehoshua’s secret mission and Moshe’s public one demonstrate how this episode reverses the earlier catastrophic report.
