Rahab was not an Israelite. She lived in the wall of one of the most important cities in the Promised Land.

Rahab saved the lives of the two spies.

Rahab had heard what God had done for the Israelites and she knew God had given her country to the Israelites.
(Joshua 2:8,9)

Rahab was rewarded for her faith!
 She was included in the lineage of Jesus and praised for her faith. 
(Matthew 1:5 and Hebrews 11:31)

Rahab was saved when Jericho was conquered!
The people who were in her house were the only people not killed when the Israelites took the city of Jericho.
(Joshua 2:17-20)

"By faith the prostitute Rahab, because she welcomed the spies, was not killed with those who were disobedient."
(Hebrews 11:31)
