The Hebrew phrase ‘isha zonah’ can mean both female innkeeper (connected to the idea of providing food), or to a prostitute, specifying woman (’isha’) because they also had male prostitutes.

Either way, Rahab became a righteous person.

In the New Testament, the Epistle of James and the Epistle to the Hebrews follow the tradition set by the translators of the Septuagint in using the Greek word "πόρνη" (pórnē, which is usually translated to English as "harlot" or "prostitute") to describe Rahab.
