Matthew Poole and continuators on Joshua 6:23

23 And the young men that were spies, went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had: and they brought out all her † kindred, and left them without the camp of Israel .

Till they were cleansed from the impurities of their Gentile state, and instructed in the Iewish Religion, and solemnly admitted into that Church in the usual way, to which Rahabs good Counsel and Example had doubtless very much prepared them; and this stupendious work of God confirmed their purposes.
