Joshua 6:16



Joshua 6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city. So after the spies had returned from Jericho with a good report, Joshua laid out a bold and unusual battle plan. The army was to march around the city of Jericho following the priests with the Ark of the Covenant without making a single sound. This they did this for six straight days! And on the seventh day, they marched around Jericho seven times, the priests blew their trumpets and everyone shouted and the walls came tumbling down! God had brought the great walls of Jericho down so that the soldiers could march straight in. What a great victory for the Israelites! And all because they obeyed God. Only one section of the wall remained. Can you remember what section and why? Yes, the part of the wall where Rahab lived. God protected her and her family because of her help with the spies. God protected Rahab because God keeps His word.
