Why were the people of Jericho wicked when they'd never heard of the Hebrew god seems like hypocrisy to me?

It depends on which book you're reading. If it's the Bible, then the people of Jericho were wicked. If you're reading the Books pf Jerichoeans, then it's the Children of Israel who are the wicked for destroying their cities, massacring all the menfolks and womenfolks including children and infants, but saving the virgin girls for themselves.

The story of Jericho in The Bible depicts the Israelites conquering the city as part of their journey to the Promised Land. The Bible portrays the people of Jericho as wicked based on their own beliefs and practices, which were considered unholy and sinful according to the Israelites' laws. It is a narrative within the context of the Israelites' religious beliefs rather than an objective historical account.
