How is it possible that this woman, Rahab, began to have children after the age of 50? And all of them prophets? Also her blood was Canaanite thus not permissible for her to mix with Israel, let alone have such illustrous progeney to later include even King David. Is it not more reasonable to consider that we are in effect speaking of two different people? One Rahab the prostitute convert, the other Rachab from a later period, an Israelite mother of Boaz.
