Joshua 6 · Grade 4

God Gives the City

Name Date

Read and Think

Jericho was tightly shut, but Yahweh told Joshua, Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand. The plan God gave looked strange: no siege, no battering, only marching, trumpets, and silence. Victory would plainly be God's work.

For six days the men of war circled the city once, with seven priests blowing trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. The ark at the center showed that Yahweh Himself was leading. On the seventh day they circled seven times, and at Joshua's command the people shouted. The wall fell down flat.

Jericho was devoted to Yahweh as His judgment, and its silver, gold, bronze, and iron went into Yahweh's treasury. But Rahab and her household were saved because she hid the messengers. In the New Testament, By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days (Hebrews 11:30).
