“ I know the Lord has given you this land,” she told them.“ We are all afraid of you. Everyone in the land is living in terror.

“ The Lord has given us the whole land,” they said,“ for all the people in the land are terrified of us.”

Then you must cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”So Joshua and all his fighting men traveled to the water near Merom and attacked suddenly.And the Lord gave them victory over their enemies. The Israelites chased them as far as Greater Sidon and Misrephoth maim, and eastward into the valley of Mizpah, until not one enemy warrior was left alive.

Some of the armed men marched in front of the priests with the horns and some behind the Ark, with the priests continually blowing the horns.“ Do not shout; do not even talk,” Joshua commanded.“ Not a single word from any of you until I tell you to shout. Then shout!”So the Ark of the Lord was carried around the town once that day, and then everyone returned to spend the night in the camp.Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests again carried the Ark of the Lord.The seven priests with the rams’ horns marched in front of the Ark of the Lord, blowing their horns. Again the armed men marched both in front of the priests with the horns and behind the Ark of the Lord. All this time the priests were blowing their horns.On the second day they again marched around the town once and returned to the camp. They followed this pattern for six days.On the seventh day the Israelites got up at dawn and marched around the town as they had done before. But this time they went around the town seven times.The seventh time around, as the priests sounded the long blast on their horns, Joshua commanded the people,“ Shout! For the Lord has given you the town!Jericho and everything in it must be completely destroyed as an offering to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and the others in her house will be spared, for she protected our spies.“ Do not take any of the things set apart for destruction, or you yourselves will be completely destroyed, and you will bring trouble on the camp of Israel.Everything made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron is sacred to the Lord and must be brought into his treasury.”When the people heard the sound of the rams’ horns, they shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed, and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it.They completely destroyed everything in it with their swords— men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, goats, and donkeys.Meanwhile, Joshua said to the two spies,“ Keep your promise. Go to the prostitute’s house and bring her out, along with all her family.”The men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, and all the other relatives who were with her. They moved her whole family to a safe place near the camp of Israel.Then the Israelites burned the town and everything in it. Only the things made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron were kept for the treasury of the Lord’s house.

When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to him and demanded,“ Are you friend or foe?”“ Neither one,” he replied.“ I am the commander of the Lord’s army.” At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence.“ I am at your command,” Joshua said.“ What do you want your servant to do?”The commander of the Lord’s army replied,“ Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did as he was told.
