Which is another vain argument, as you can only presume that she had no help, no servants, and no time for occasionally bedding with a man in the hay, likely to supplement income, but instead you insist on necessarily making a harlot into one running a full time hotel brothel! Again, the word which the Holy Spirit describes her as is abundantly shown to refer to one who engages in fornication or adultery - even if they only do it once:
And it came to pass about three months after, that it was told Judah, saying, Tamar thy daughter in law hath played the harlot [zânûn]; and also, behold, she is with child by whoredom [zânûn]. And Judah said, Bring her forth, and let her be burnt. (Gen 38:24)
None of your valiant but vain attempts to protect Rahab from being such a manifest sinner can overcome this, and your unreasonable denial militants against the intended point of invoking Rahab in the NT as one saved by grace, for it illustrates that he/she that believeth on him that justifieth the unGodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. (Romans 4:5)
And there are worse things than being a fornicator, for one can be a charitable, kind person though for various reasons they engage in fornication, including financial necessity, though adultery is a different class. But the worse sins are those of self righteous, malevolent hearts, such as the religious leaders who crucified Christ are indicted for, and the publicans and the harlots went into the kingdom of God before such. would repent. (cf. Matthew 21:31)

The sheer amount of flax stalks to make linen fabric indicates Rahab had a linen business. I am NOT attempting to protect Rahab... The account of what we are told about where she hid the ‘spies’, vindicates her from somebody labeling her a harlot. But you carry on playing GOD and spewing out accusations that come from your own vanity.
