any reason, they would consider it some kind of decoration, similar to the red banner that marks this inn as a house of pleasure.”
    “You are cunning,” said Caleb.
    “If you only knew what I have been through,” she said.
    Caleb said, “When we arrive at the city, tie this cord outside your window so the troops will know where you are and will pass over your household.”
    “ You are cunning yourself,” she replied.
    He said, “But if any of your household venture out of this building, their blood will be on their own heads.”
    She countered, “ And if any of your men lay a hand on any of my household within this building, our blood will be on your heads.”
    “Fair enough,” he said. But he would not be outdone. “But if you reveal our plans to anyone, then we are released from this treaty on all counts.”
    She deferred, “According to your words, so be it. Now make sure you go into the hills for three days until they return before you set off for the Jordan.”
    Salmon said, “ I will be back for you, Rahab.”
    She rolled her eyes and said, “ That is what they all say, Salmon. Now get going.”

Chapter 33
    The Son of Man stood before the throne of witnesses and began his legal defense of Yahweh’s Wars. Mikael waited impatiently in his place, knowing that he was needed by Israel as soon as they could get this ridiculous restraining order thrown out of court.
    Unlike the satan, the Son of Man would follow protocol and properly give honor to the Judge of all things.
    “ Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Yahweh, your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones! For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the gods is like Yahweh, a God greatly to be feared in the council of the holy ones, and awesome above all who are around him? O Yahweh Elohim of hosts, the heavens are yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you have founded them.

    The satan muttered under his breath to his fellow litigants, “ Fecal-nosed god licker.”
    The Son of Man then took his own turn around the dais to give his delivery some movement.

    Mikael could hear the reaction of the litigants’ scoffing mockery and ridicule under their breaths. They were Sons of God, divine heavenly beings, and yet in this courtroom they acted like snide sophomoric juveniles. It was despicable.
    The Son of Man continued, “First, regarding the prosecutor’s accusation of imperialism, I think a definition of terms is in order here. Imperialism is defined as an act of empire asserting authority over dependent states. You have no argument from the defense on that count, since Yahweh Elohim is the emperor of the heavens and the earth and he does as he pleases. So, yes, he is the imperial authority and his acts are indeed imperial and all humanity are his subjects. Duly noted. And without moral condemnation.”
    “Which brings us to the only charge with legal merit in this case: The covenant documented between our sovereign emperor and the Bene Elohim. Did Yahweh break his covenant promise to the Sons of
