According to the Book of Joshua, all the men of war marched around the city walls. Against this, archaeologists say that there was no city of Jericho at this time. Scholars say that the story was probably an elaboration of a real siege that occurred much earlier against the city of Megiddo. In that siege, the king's army marched around the walls of Megiddo making as much noise as possible, day after day. When the defendants tired of following their attackers around the walls, the army suddenly attacked, breached the walls and entered the city unopposed.
Jericho is a city in the West Bank, and the estimated circumference of the city is about 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles). The time it would take to walk around Jericho would depend on an individual's walking speed, but it would likely take around 1-1.5 hours at a leisurely pace.
Modern Jericho is about 8.3 miles (13.4 km) in circumference.

The Walls of Jericho
The Israelites on each of six consecutive days, marched once around the city and then seven times on the seventh day. When the priests blew horns and the people shouted, the seemingly impregnable walls around Jericho crumbled. (Joshua 6:10-16) However, the Bible does not mentioned the exact number of Israelites who marched around the walls of Jericho.
The Bible does not say when the walls of Jericho fell, but the biblical genealogies give an approximation of around 1400 BCE. This differs from the archaeological evidence that the walls fell, as the result of an earthquake, approximately 1500 BCE and the city abandoned.
