At the climax of the siege of Jericho, the Israelites are instructed by God to march around the city for seven days, with the priests blowing trumpets. On the seventh day, they circle the city seven times. When the priests blow the trumpets on the final lap, Joshua tells the people to shout, signifying that God has delivered the city into their hands. This narrative underscores the power of faith and obedience. The Israelites' victory is not achieved through military might but through their trust in God's plan and their willingness to follow His unusual instructions. It demonstrates that divine intervention can lead to success in situations where human efforts alone might fail. This story encourages believers to rely on God's guidance and to have faith that He can bring about victory in their lives, even when the path seems unconventional or daunting. The fall of Jericho is a testament to the power of collective faith and the fulfillment of God's promises.
The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, "Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!"
