Rahab married Salmon, a member of the Tribe of Judah and one of the two spies she helped during the Israelite conquest of Jericho. Their marriage is mentioned in the New Testament genealogy of Jesus in Matthew 1:5, which states that Rahab was the wife of Salmon and the mother of Boaz

. However, some Jewish rabbinic traditions (Midrash) suggest that Rahab married Joshua, the leader of the Israelites, after her conversion to Judaism. This view is found in the Babylonian Talmud and other midrashic literature, which portray Rahab as a convert who married Joshua and became an ancestor of notable prophets and priests

. In summary:

• The New Testament (Matthew 1:5) identifies Salmon as Rahab's husband.
• Rabbinic tradition sometimes holds that she married Joshua instead.
• Salmon and Rahab's union produced Boaz, linking Rahab to the lineage of King David and ultimately Jesus.

The most widely accepted view in Christian tradition is that Rahab married Salmon
