Week 6 | The Defeat of Jericho
Jan 10, 2024 • Matthew Allen
This lesson examines Israel's miraculous victory over the fortified city of Jericho under Joshua's leadership. At the end of chapter 5, Joshua encounters the commander of the Lord's army, emphasizing God's presence and guidance in the upcoming battle. God then gives Joshua explicit instructions for capturing Jericho in chapter 6 - the Israelites are to march around the city daily for six days and then seven times on the seventh, after which the priests will blow trumpets and the people will shout, causing the walls to collapse.
