Jericho. (Joshua chapters 1-3)


When did the Israelites march around Jericho with trumpets?

A:According to the book of Joshua, Jericho was the first city the Israelites attacked at the end of the Exodus from Egypt. The Bible tells us that the forty-year Exodus began approximately 1444 BCE, 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign, so the attack on Jericho would have been approximately 1404 BCE. However, over 90 per cent of scholars say that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. Archaeologists say that Jericho had been abandoned around 1550 BCE and all that existed, at the time the Israelites were said to have marched around the walls of Jericho, was a small, unwalled village. The Israelites never really marched around the walls of Jericho with trumpets.


Did the Israelites conquer the city of Jericho with special machines?

A:The question recognises that walls do not just fall down if you march around them and looks for the historical truth, proposing the use of special machines to achieve that objective. This proposal is not necessary, and no more possible than the biblical account. Archaeologists say that Jericho was already abandoned by around 1550 BCE, a hundred and fifty years before the time attributed to Joshua's conquests. There was no military conquest of Jericho or of the other cities mentioend in the Book of Joshua.

What was the reason for the Israelites to march around Jericho 7 times?

Basically, because God told them to! I am certain that some would have said that it sounded a stupid thing to do and what could it do, but remember that the Israelites had seen miracle after miracle, the last one being the drying up of the impassable flooded Jordan River so they could cross over. It was an act of faith and obedience and showed the power of God.


Was Joshua part of Jericho or Israel when the walls came down?

The Book of Joshua tells us that Joshua was the leader of the Israelites when he brought down the wall of Jericho merely by having his men march around the city and make a great noise. Archaeologists say that the city had been abandoned a century before the time attributed to Joshua and that there were no walls for Joshua to bring down. They also say there was no military conquest of Jericho, as described in the Bible, at any time in the second millennium BCE.
