And God honored this whole ordeal by saving her and her family in the battle, marrying her into the nation of Israel, and putting her into the lineage of Jesus.To be more specific, Rahab becomes the mother of Boaz. This leads to an observation that is lost on most people reading the book of Ruth. Boaz is wealthy, prosperous, kind, and Godly. So why is he single?--you would think that he would be the perfect "catch." But there is that one not-so-hidden aspect: he is the son of Salmon, one of the Jericho spies, and Rahab, the Jericho madam running a brothel. The only woman who didn't care about his background was the woman who had a foreign background of her own, Ruth. (Which, incidentally, makes Obed, their son and the grandfather of David, only 1/4 Hebrew. God was telling us His salvation was going to be for both Jew and Gentile long before the early church made it so.)

Does the Holy Bible ever refer to male prostitutes? If not, then we really are in the last days!!

Not sure but with castration in the high courts being a rule in near every culture back then would it be too far to suggest the eunuchs in the kings and queens court?
Of course stoning was a big deal with homosexuality but? Ideas?

See I Kings 15.12 (Asa removed the male shrine prostitutes).
To: Racketeer
Deut 23:17 in the Hebrew uses two words for prostitute: kadeshah for female and kadesh for male. Not always clear in English translations.

There's always a name pun afoot.
This article from crossroads indicates that by faith, a streetwalker can get to the other side.
Or, how Rahab succeeded with rehab.

street: rehov [רחוב]

Judaism has always accepted coverts. It just doesn’t seek them.

God honored real faith in God, Jew or Gentile, before and after Abraham’s decendents became known as Jews.

In Deuteronomy 23:17-18 states “17 “None of the daughters of Israel shall be a cult prostitute, and none of the sons of Israel shall be a cult prostitute. 18 You shall not bring the fee of a prostitute or the wages of a dog[a] into the house of the Lord your God in payment for any vow, for both of these are an abomination to the Lord your God.”

The Heavenly Father NEVER called Rahab a hooker/harlot/prostitute…. She was a ‘flax’ linen business ‘woman’. She hid the spies on her roof top amongst her drying flax….
