Jericho city from Holy Bible

                         

                      Jericho is the name of the city,  It is located very close to the Jordan river. There were huge walls all around the city. The people of Jericho became afraid of Israelites because they came to knew what miracles they have done near the river Jordan. They locked up their gates not allowing anyone in or out of the city. Then Lord said to Joshua how to enter into the city. “Your Army is to walk around the city once a day for 6 days followed by 7 priests walking a head of the ark and on the 7^th day blowing trumpets,  shouting loudly you are to walk around the city 7 times along with the priests,” Then the huge walls will fall down and then you can go in.

 

                           Joshua told his Army, “what the lord had said to him”.

                          Every day at dawn the Army left the camp for 6 days. They all walked around the city followed by the priests walking a head of the ark.

                           On the 7^th day as usual at dawn they left the camp but on this day instead of walking one time around the city they walked around 7 times. The army first followed a head of the ark. After they had walked around the 7^th time, the priests gave a loud blast on their trumpets. Every one shouted as loudly as they could. “The lord has given us this city” with that sound, the walls began shaking, crumbling and tumbling down.

         

                          The people inside were so frightened and feared they didn’t know what to do, they began running here and there. They were scared of the situation. They scattered every where. Then Israelites just walked into the city. All this happened because “God was with them”

Joshua 6:1-27   ESV / 19 helpful verses

Now Jericho was shut up inside and outside because of the people of Israel. None went out, and none came in. And the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valor. You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days. Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. On the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. And when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, when you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, everyone straight before him.” ...
