After crossing the Jordan, Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan where they laid siege to the city of Jericho. The Lord spoke to Joshua telling him to march around the city once every day for six days with the seven priests carrying trumpets in front of the ark. On the seventh day they were to march around the city seven times and the priests were to blow their trumpets. This Joshua did, and he commanded his people not to give a warcry until he told them to do so. On the seventh day, after marching around the city the seventh time, the priests sounded their trumpets, and Joshua ordered the people to shout. The walls of the city collapsed, and the Israelites were able to charge straight into the city. The city was completely destroyed, and every man, woman, and child in it was killed. Only Rahab and her family were spared, because she had hid the two spies sent by Joshua. After this Joshua burned the remains of the city and cursed any man who would rebuild the city of Jericho at the cost of his firstborn son.

Two things;
1. Jericho was the first city the Israelites faced after crosssing the Jordan. Jericho and its spoils were the Lords not Israel's.
2. Faith in the Lord. Logically speaking marching around the town, did not make military sense. But the lord told to, they did it, and got the reward for obedience to something that in the nature did not make sense. .

Jericho was a town in the Old Testament that was known as impenetrable because of it's walls. They were so thick and no one had ever taken this town before but, Joshua prayed to the Lord and the Lord told Joshua to have his people march around this town 7 times and on the seventh time they were to blow horns and everything else. Well, on the seventh time the walls came crashing down and the Israelites won the battle.

The first battle the Israelites conducted after the Exodus from Egypt. They had wandered in the desert for 40 years, because of their sins and disbelief. As Moses died, Joshua led them into the "promised land of Cannan." The first city they encountered was Jericho. Check out the book of Joshua in the Old Testament.

even as Joshua took over administration after Moses died, his first conflict marketing campaign develop into antagonistic to the city of Jericho, which had walls deep (huge?) adequate to have chariot races around the right perimeter. God instructed Joshua to have the military march around the walls of Jericho once an afternoon for 6 days, last easily silent each and every time, with the clergymen and the ark of the covenant in the lead. on the seventh day, they were to march round seven cases, the first six cases silently, yet then on the seventh time, horns were to be blasting away, and each and every of the adult males were to shout. even as they obeyed God, the walls got here down - no longer crumbling down like maximum photos depict, yet pushed immediately down, like an elevator occurring into the floor till the right of the wall develop into inspite of the floor. (definite, this develop into got here upon through archaeologists. before everything, even as they found the ruins of the historic city, they idea that they had evidence that the Bible develop into fake; yet as they saved digging, they stumbled on the wall - in tact, yet down lower than the point of the city, subsequently proving that the Bible develop into precise in its historic account, even with each and every thing). This conflict of Jericho develop into the first of many such victories as long as they obeyed the voice of the Lord.
