Your question is worded unclearly; here are possible answers:
1) God's command (Joshua 6:2).
2) Joshua, who led the Israelites for 28 years after the death of Moses (Joshua ch.1 to ch.24).
3) The Kohanim, who led the circling of the city (Joshua ch.6).
4) The report of the scouts, saying that the land, and Jericho, were ready for taking (see Joshua ch.2).
5) Rahab (ibid), who stated that the Israelites had nothing to be apprehensive about.
6) The fact that Jericho was considered the key entry point to the rest of Canaan (midrash Tanhuma, section Behaalotcha 18).
The answer is in the old spiritual:
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down.
The Israelite nation was led by Joshua at that point in history.
The first event in the Battle of Jericho is the Israelites crossing the Jordan River led by Joshua with the Ark of the Covenant. This marked the beginning of their military campaign to conquer the city of Jericho.
According to the biblical account, Jericho was the first city the Israelites captured.

In the Book of Joshua, the Israelites attacked Jericho and killed every man, woman and child there, save for the prostitute, Rahab. However, archaeologists say that there was no military conquest as described in the Bible. They say that the city of Jericho had been abandoned long before 1400 BCE (when the attack should have taken place) and that there was at most just a small, unfortified mud-brick village where Jericho had once stood. The Israelites did not attack Jericho and did not kill anyone there.
Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan.
The town of Jericho was taken in the military campaign led by Joshua, in the Battle of Jericho described in the Book of Joshua in the Bible. It is known for its miraculous conquest where the walls of Jericho fell down after the Israelites marched around the city seven times blowing trumpets.

The first city in Canaan taken by the Israelites was Jericho, as described in the biblical account in the book of Joshua. The Israelites marched around the city for seven days before its walls fell down, allowing them to conquer it.
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.
