Homilies on Joshua, Homilia VII · §3

Rahab joined to Israel

Rahab and all her kin are joined to Israel — the church from the nations. The window-sign holds until the coming; faith must hold to the end. Whoever leaves the house perishes.

Latin

Raab et omnis cognatio eius adunatur Israel — ecclesia ex gentibus. Signum in fenestra usque ad adventum — fides usque ad finem. Extra domum perit qui exierit.
