Joshua 6 · Grade 3
By Faith the Walls Fell
Read the Story
Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. Yahweh said to Joshua, Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand. God gave a plan that did not depend on swords or ladders.
For six days the armed men marched around the city once. Seven priests went before the ark with seven trumpets of rams' horns. Joshua told the people not to shout or even speak until the day he told them.
On the seventh day they rose early and marched around seven times. At the seventh time Joshua said, Shout, for Yahweh has given you the city! The wall fell down flat. The two spies brought out Rahab and all her family, as they had promised. So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
Memory Verse
“So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city.”
