Haftorah Shlach
Yehoshua 2:1

This week’s Haftorah relates the story of Yehoshua sending Kalev and Pinchas to spy out Yericho, their encounter with Rachav, and their report confirming the fear of Yericho’s inhabitants. The connection to our Parsha is obvious, however the outcome of this “second mission” was far different than the first one 38 years earlier. The year was 2488 -1273 b.c.e.
