Since Moses died the previous month, this would be a good example showing how the DFC dates in Scripture sometimes function like marks on the ruler of time instead of designating the exact date of an event.

  • Why the Walls of Jericho Came Tumbling Down
    WHY THE WALLS OF JERICHO CAME TUMBLING DOWN SHUBERT SPERO What follows is an attempt to give a rational explanation for the fall of the walls of Jericho following the siege of the city by the Israelite forces led by 1 Joshua. The theory I wish to propose is designed not to replace the textual account but to complement it. That is, to suggest a reality that does not contradict the official version but which may have been behind it and for whose actual occurrence several hints may be found in the text. The fall of the walls of Jericho was indeed a wondrous event and the text properly sees God as the agent in the sense that it was He who inspired Joshua to come up 2 with his ingenious plan. Our theory suggests a connection between the two outstanding features of the story: (1) The adventure of the two Israelite spies in the house of Rahab the inn-keeper, before the Israelites crossed the Jordan, and (2) the mystify- ing circling of the city by the priestly procession for the seven days preceding the tumbling down of the walls. Let us first review the salient facts involved in the incident of the spies. We are told that Rahab's dwelling was part of the city wall and that in the wall she dwelt (Josh. 2:15) with a window that looked out on the area outside the city. The spies avoid capture by the Canaanite authorities through the efforts of Rahab and, in gratitude, they promise the woman that she and her family will not be harmed during the impending attack, and instruct her to gather them all into her house and hang scarlet threads in the window.

  • Pastor Gerber Again. Do You Remember What the First 5 Books of the Bible Are? They Are Called the Torah Or Pentateuch
    Welcome back! Pastor Gerber again. Do you remember what the first 5 books of the Bible are? They are called the Torah or Pentateuch. Written by Moses. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. The next section in the Bibles is called the history books of the Old Testament. Do you remember how many books are in the history section? 12. Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1st and 2nd Samuel, 1st and 2nd Kings, 1st and 2nd Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther. Today we’re going to skim over the surface of each of these books. We can’t do them much justice, though, in just a few minutes. So, I encourage you to pick one or two of them and quickly read through them. Some are shorter than others. I suggest Ruth and Esther. They are stories that basically stand on their own, they aren’t very long, and they’re really interesting. So, let’s get into our overview of these books. When we left off in Deuteronomy, Moses has just died. That’s right where Joshua picks up. Remember, before Moses died, Joshua took over the command of the Israelite people. We see that taking place in the beginning of the book. Joshua takes over and brings the Israelites into the Promised Land. Foreigners had settled on their land and the Israelites have to use a lot of force to drive these foreigners out of the land that God had promised to the Israelites. Many of these nations are completely destroyed in these wars. Can you think of a battle from Joshua that you remember from Sunday School? Joshua fit the battle of Jericho! Well, not all battles went as easily as the battle of Jericho.

God told Moses to send 12 spies there. Moses picked 12 men. He told them, “Find out what the people are like. See if the land is good. Find out if the people are strong or weak.” The men went to the new country. They came back with a lot of good fruit and said, “The land is beautiful. It is filled with plenty of food. But the people there are big and strong. If we fight them, they will win for sure. ”The Israelites became afraid. "We cannot go into the country. It is too dangerous" they said. But two of the spies, called Joshua and Caleb, said: "Be not afraid.

  • Joshua and the Battle of Jericho
    Joshua and the Battle of Jericho When things in our life change we may feel excited or anxious or just not quite sure what to expect. However, the important thing for us to remember is that whatever happens God is with us. Joshua had become the leader of the Israelites he must have felt excited but also afraid of the enormous task before him … he had to lead the Israelites into the promised land. BUT God said to him… (Did you remember the verse?) “Remember that I commanded you to be strong and brave. Do not be afraid. The Lord your God will be with you everywhere you go.” So … what happened next? Joshua and the Israelites were camped near Jericho and God spoke to Joshua again and said ‘Look I have given you Jericho.” Then God gave him clear instructions about what to do next but I’m sure they weren’t what Joshua expected. He thought it was going to be a big battle with swords and shields, but it wasn’t. God told him that they all had to march once round the city for six days with seven priests carrying trumpets walking in front of the holy Ark. Then on the seventh day they were to walk round the city seven times and then give one long blast on the trumpets. Then all the people were to shout loudly. So … that’s exactly what they did. They walked round the city 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 times And… when it came to the seventh day, having walked round the city seven times….

  • Teacher Bible Study Lesson Overview
    4th-6th Grade Kids Bible Study Guide Unit 8, Session 2: The Conquest of Jericho TEACHER BIBLE STUDY The Lord brought His people into the promised land. Now they had a task set before them: conquer the people living in the land. The first city the Israelites came to was Jericho. The people of Jericho had heard about God and what He had done for the Israelites. They understood God’s power and wanted nothing to do with Him. Joshua sent spies to Jericho to check it out. A prostitute named Rahab knew how powerful God was. She wanted to be on God’s side. Rahab hid the spies and kept them safe from the people of Jericho. In return, the spies promised that Rahab and her family would be safe when the Israelites conquered the city. The people of Jericho worshiped false gods, and God was bringing His judgment against them. The Lord’s reputation went ahead of the Israelites, creating fear in the people of Jericho. God was in control. He told Joshua that the battle would be just fine. (See Joshua 6:2.) The battle of Jericho was fought by faith. The Israelites did not focus on what was going on inside the city of Jericho; they focused on doing what God had instructed. They obeyed even when it seemed nothing was happening. On the seventh day, the trumpets sounded, declaring, “The LORD is near!” Joshua gave the people specific instructions to destroy everything in the city except for Rahab and her family. The Israelites were not to keep anything for themselves.

  • Joshua, Jericho, and Jesus” Text: Joshua 6
    Title: “Joshua, Jericho, and Jesus” Text: Joshua 6 Joshua, Jericho, and Jesus. -It’s a nice alliteration with all of those names beginning with the letter “J.” -But you might wonder why Jesus’ name is in the mix. -Joshua and Jericho are rather famously bound up with one another: “Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho,….and the walls came a tumblin’ down!” But what does that have to do with Jesus, right?! -He wouldn’t be born until about 1300 years later. But if you’ve been with us this year, I think you’re beginning to discover that the whole Old Testament points forward to Jesus in all sorts of different ways. -So why not Joshua and the battle of Jericho, right? So let’s explore this great Old Testament story that every church going child learns at a young age in Sunday School. 1. And the first thing that might interest you to know is that Joshua and Jesus share the exact same name. It’s not readily apparent in English, but in Hebrew they are both named “Yeshua.” -A Hebrew word that means, ‘the Lord saves.’ “Joshua” is the typical transliteration of “Yeshua” from Hebrew into English, -but because the New Testament was initially written in Greek, -the name in Greek was transliterated as “Jesua,” -and then came into English as Jesus. But it’s the same name in Hebrew. -So do you remember the Christmas story? -And how the angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream and said, “Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, for what .is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

    Level 2 | Grades 3-4, Ages 8-9 L2L50: Joshua and the Battle of Jericho Joshua 6 After the Israelites made it across the Jordan River, they prepared to meet the next obstacle - the great walled city of Jericho. The men who Joshua sent to spy out the city had come back with important information, but now Joshua needed a plan. Joshua knew that God was the one who would give Israel the victory, but he needed some directions. And, guess what? The Commander of the Army of the Lord Himself came to deliver them. On top of that, the directions He gave were not ordinary battle plans. These plans required a little bit of patience and a whole lot of faith! Discuss: • All the people of the land had heard of the children of Israel. How do you think the people of Jericho felt when they heard that the Israelites had crossed over the Jordan into their territory? Do you think the people of Jericho felt safe inside the city walls? • What were the directions that God gave to Joshua? What was unusual about them? What do you think the people of Jericho were thinking when they saw the Israelites following the directions they were Moody Publishing | FreeBibleImages.org given? • How was the instruction for the army different on the seventh day than on the other days? Who did God protect in the city? • Why do you think God planned the Battle of Jericho the way He did? Memory Challenge: Joshua 6:2 And the Lord said to Joshua: “See!
