neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver

and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians. (Ex. 3 :
21, 22.)
And they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels
of gold, and raiment.... And they spoiled the Egyptians. (Ex. 12 :

And the Lord said unto Samuel, ... I will send thee to Jesse, the
Bethlemite; for I have provided me a king among his sons. And Samuel

And the woman [Rahab] took the two men and hid them and said thus:
There came men unto me, but I wist not whence they were; and it came
to pass about the time of shutting of the gate, when it was dark, that
the men went out; whither the men went I wot not; pursue after them
quickly, for ye shall overtake them. But she had brought them up to
the roof of the house and hid them with the stalks of flax. (Josh. 2 :
4, 5, 6.)
Was not Rahab, the harlot, justified by works, when she had received

And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, and said unto them, Why
have ye done this thing, and have saved the men-children alive? And
the midwives said unto Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not
as the Egyptian women; for they are lively, and are delivered ere
the midwives come in unto them. Therefore God dealt well with the
midwives. (Ex. 1 : 18-20.)
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said,
