What I am saying is that what is good and evil is not as readily evident to everyone as some people suggest.

Didn't israelites stone women to death for adultery? Rahab married an israelite, no? I think the fact that she cleaned up is implied. I've never heard of any biblical cases where married women openly sold their bodies without repercussions. This was not the norm for Jewish people.
In any case, the story of Rahab and children sold as sex slaves are really two different scenarios.
