Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her.

And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?

And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.

And she fastened it with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web.

And Joshua saved Rahab the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwelleth in Israel even unto this day; because she hid the messengers, which Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.
