What did Moses do before he died?
The Israeli spies came to report, and Balaam left the highlands of Moab, and the Midian to the south settled five kings and made plans to fight with Israel in order to get more gold and silver jewelry.
In the east of Jordan, in the green plains of Moab, under the command of God, Moses and the High Priest led the Israelites to complete the second census after the Exodus, the two sons of Joseph and the two sons of Ephraim in the 12 tribes. Manasseh occupies one, and the tribe of Levi is not counted as a priest within the 12 tribes. According to the statistical results, there are a total of 600,170 males and 30s who can fight in the 12-year-old. Among them, the Judah tribe has the largest number, and the Simeon family has the fewest.
The last census occurred 38 years ago, and there were a total of 630,500 men over the age of 20 in Israel. Among the 600,000 people, except for the two of the twelve spies, Caleb and Joshua, all died in the wilderness because they did not dare to enter Canaan.
God asked Moses to select a thousand soldiers from each tribe to form a team of 12,000 people. God said to Moses, "You must avenge the Midianites, because they lure Israel to worship the false gods in Piel, and seduce the daughters of their princes. After that, you will go to Mount Abalin. Look at the land I gave to the Israelites. After reading it, you will also go to your ancestors, like your brother Aaron will return. Because in the wilderness of the search, when the congregation fights, you violate me. The command, not in the water, is to honor me in front of the congregation."
Moses was white and pale, leaning over the ground, and pleading with sorrow: "Lord, you have shown your mighty power to your servants. In heaven, in the ground, there is God who can act like you, like you. What can you do? Please let me go and see the beautiful land on the Jordan River, the beautiful mountain and Lebanon."
God will continue to temper the faith of Moses, because Moses’ mission is more than that. God said to Moses, "Enough! Don't mention this to me. You go up to the top of Pisgah and look up to the east, west, south, and north, because you must not cross this Jordan River."
Moses leaned on thanksgiving, and then, considering the problems behind him, he asked God: "May the Lord God of the Spirit of the Sun, take a person to replace me to govern the congregation, to come in and out before them, and to guide them, lest the congregation of the Lord be like There is no sheep herd."
God said to Moses, "Joshua the son of Nun has the Holy Spirit in his heart; you bring him and lay his hand on his head, and let him stand before the priest Eleazar and the whole congregation, and swear at him, and Your honor gives him a few points, and all Israel will obey him. He will stand before Eleazar the priest; Eleazar will ask him before the Lord. He and the entire congregation of Israel will follow The fate of Asa’s life."
Moses left the tabernacle and came to the congregation to make Joshua the next generation leader of Israel according to God's command. Afterwards, Moses handed over the team of 12,000 to Joshua and sent the son of Eleazar, the priest, to Nieha. In the hands of Phinehas, he took the vessels of the sanctuary and blew the horn, and set off with the army.
The two armies are diagonal, and the two sides are in a position to fight. The nearly 100,000 troops of the Midian Five Kings are covering the ground, and the five positions are interlocking and relying on each other. Seeing Israel’s thin camp can not help but scorn. Everyone in the Israeli army was so sad that not long ago, because of the partnership between the Midianites and the Moabites, 24,000 soldiers in the Israeli army were sick and dead. Each of them must not only revenge for the two dead brothers, but also the shameful all-Israel shame.
The son of the priest, Phinehas, stood at a high place and blew the horn. God's inspiration moved Joshua, he waved the flag and dispatched the army. The Israeli soldiers are like God's help. They are surrounded by the two wings and the most outside of the Midian army. In the tenth, if the 10,000 lions collide with the panicked flock, and the raging bulls trample on the grass, the two wings will meet. , all of this Midian detachment.
The other four camps in Midian were shocked and horrified, and the Israeli soldiers took the victory and attacked. Joshua waved the flag, and the Israeli soldiers quickly swept to fill the remaining Midian army. The soldiers of Midian saw no hope of retreating, scared faceless, blindly broke through, but slammed into the Israeli army of the iron wall, saw that their companions were slashed, and only desperately fled to the heart, but only prolonged the torture of fear, delayed The advent of death.
The bloody dusk, the dead body of the battlefield, the Israeli soldiers all stained the whole body, and the allied forces of the five kings of Midian, captured the five kings and their common military division, Balaam, and put them in front of the entire army. Then the tribal leaders gathered thousands of soldiers, named them, and finally reported to Joshua. No one in the tribes was killed or missing, and 12,000 soldiers were all listed. Finnish horns triumphantly, and the soldiers cheered in unison, praising God's protection and power.
The army plundered the cattle, sheep, and gold and silver belongings from the five kings back to the base camp and presented them to Moses and Eleazar. A total of 670,000 sheep, 70,000 cattle, countless gold and silver items, 3,000 children. According to God's instructions, Moses rewarded half of the spoils to the soldiers, divided the other half to the people, and distributed one-fifth to the Levites, and then dedicated one-tenth of them to God. The soldiers participating in the war were grateful for the protection of God and were willing to devote two hundred kilograms of gold to Moses and Eleazar to the tabernacle.
After two battles, Israel first occupied the land of the two kings of the Amorite, Xihong and Yi, and then defeated the attack of the five kings of Midian, and the morale doubled and the military attacked. The second generation of the leader Joshua and the priest Eleazar received the support of the army and the people, and experienced the power of God with the whole congregation. The neighboring countries are all sorrowful and stern, closing the gates of the city, fearing that the war will burn. Even the giants were wiped out, and even the prophet Baran was in the same place. Even the Midian Five Kings were defeated. Who else can stand against the god behind Israel?
Looking at the rejoicing people and watching their bright smiles, Moses knew that he had left time, 40 years passed, autumn had arrived, autumn rain fell on the plains of Moab and the valley in the distance, the grapes were ripe, orchard Already fragrant. Moses decided to climb the top of Pisgah and look at the land of Canaan and spend the rest of the world with God.
Then he will say goodbye to the Israelites.
When did Moses enter Canaan?
In the east of Jordan, on the green plains of Moab, the first twentieth of November after Israel left Egypt, the gloomy winter brought a unique silence to the Israeli camp. Moses gathered all the Israelites.
Moses knew that his time of death had arrived. Although he was already 120 years old, his mind was still clear, his ears were clear, and his physical strength was not attenuated. Moses divided the land of the king of the Amorite two and a half to the tribes of Israel, namely Lu, Gad, and half of the Manasseh tribe. Lu is the eldest son of Jacob, the first son of the maid of Jacob. Manasseh was the eldest son of Joseph. The children of the two and a half tribes will settle their wives and children in the land of the east of Jordan, but they will enter Canaan with other tribes and return after calming down.
God commanded Israel not to invade Edom, Moab, and Ammon, because they were the brothers of Jacob and the sons of the two sons of Rhodes, the son of Abraham. Although the king of Moab made the prophet Balaam cursing the Israelites, God did not punish Moab for the time being. Israel, stationed in the east of Jordan, has no wars and no troubles.
So Moses called the Israeli congregation. The elders and leaders of the various tribes sat next to Moses. The successor Joshua and the priest Eleazar sat behind Moses. Moses sat high, watching the new generation of young people, time flies, more than 80 years ago, they are as young and handsome as they are, and they are pampered in the palace of Egypt. Who can think that God will change his destiny in this way? First, he fled for forty years, and at the most desperate moment he received the most impossible task, bringing two million Israeli slaves out of Egypt and into Canaan. Forty years later, this mission will soon be realized, but it is the moment of departure.
The peaks of the distant mountains shimmered with snow, and the winter sun shone on the body, driving away the morning cold. Moses looked around the people, white hair and white hair shaking in the breeze, loudly said:
"O Israel, now come listen, listen to the statutes and laws that I have taught you to do, that you may live, and you may receive the inheritance that the Lord your ancestors gave to you. You must be careful and keep it. Your heart, lest you forget what you see with your own eyes, and lest these things leave your heart on the day of your life; you must pass these things to your children and grandchildren.
"Be careful, lest you forget the covenant between the Lord your God and you. Don't make idols for yourself, don't make any gods. This is what the Lord your God has told you to do, because the Lord is a fire, is Jealous God.
"When God took you out of Egypt, you saw with your own eyes how God fought for you and performed great and awesome miracles. Under Mount Sinai, God made a covenant with you to make you a god. You hear it with your own eyes. Seeing the glory of God, I can still live. Since God created man, there is still such a thing happening! This is for you to see, to make you know that only the Lord is God, there is no other god besides him. .
"The Lord your God will lead you into the land that he swore to your fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; there are tall and beautiful cities, but not built by you; there are furniture-filled mansions, but not you. Buying; there is a sweet and sweet well water, but it is not what you are digging; there is a rich and verdant orchard, but it is not planted by you. You got it, don’t forget it, don’t be proud, don’t bow to the false god, but you have to Fear the Lord your God and concentrate on serving Him.
"When the LORD your God brought you into the front of Canaan, I will drive away from the people of the Hittite, the Girgashi, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. Seven great and strong peoples. When the Lord gave them to you, you must destroy them completely. You must not make a covenant with them. You must not marry them, but you must demolish their altars, break their pillars, and burn them. The gods and gods, the gold and silver on the gods, you must not be greedy or possession, lest you fall into the snare. Because the Lord hates all the abominations, these peoples do everything, even burn their own children with fire, dedicated to Their false gods."
Speaking of this, Moses paused and looked around the people. He warned the Israelites not to repeat the same mistakes and follow the footsteps of those nations, or God's punishment must come. For the past four decades, the dead generation of Israelis have seen the actions of God with their own eyes, but not only three times of rebellion. The present generation is led by Joshua. Will they remember the lessons of their fathers and the teachings of today?
I am going to die, but who else can lead Israel besides God? Since God predicted the things of today four hundred years ago, the future gods can let go. After himself, there is Joshua, and after Joshua God will raise up new prophets. Thinking of this, a 40-year-old past floated on Moses’ heart. He was comforted and spoke loudly to the prophecy:
"Under Mount Sinai, because of fear of the glory of God, God said to me, 'I will raise a prophet like you from among their brothers, I will put my words in his mouth, He will preach to them all that I will say to them.' Therefore, God will raise up a prophet like me from among your brethren, and you will obey him."
After Moses told the people of the law of God one by one, knowing that the time of goodbye had arrived, he said to the people, "I am one hundred and twenty years old and can no longer lead you. The Lord also said to me: You must not Pass the Jordan River. The Lord your God will lead you personally, and God has chosen Joshua to lead you personally. You must be strong and brave, don't fear and fear, because the Lord will never leave you or leave you."
After that, Moses passed the recorded book of the law to Joshua and Eleazar, and placed them by the ark of the congregation. In front of everyone, Moses blessed Joshua and then took him into the tabernacle. God's cloud pillar stopped above the tabernacle, and the god Joshua said, "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead the Israelites into the land that I swore to give them, and I will be with you."
Moses and Joshua came out of the tabernacle. Moses was to leave alone. He looked around and blessed the tribes one by one, as Jacob did before his death. The people received blessings and tears in their eyes, and they reluctantly sent Moses to the foothills of the Pisgah mountain in the Nebo Mountains.
Moses went up the mountain alone, as if he had climbed Mount Sinai alone forty years ago. God met him on the top of the mountain and pointed him to the future boundaries of the West Israel. Moses did not go down this time, he died at the top of the mountain. Israel mourned for Moses for 30 days under the mountain.
After 1500 years, Moses met with the prophet he predicted in the summit of a mountain in Israel in the west of Jordan, and talked about the fate of Israel.
Because God's prophecy will not fail.
She is the first non-Israeli ancestor of Jesus
Spring is bitter, the sun is gradually slanting, people are still busy, and they are rushing back and forth to carry bundles of crops into the city. Who knows, maybe Israel will cross the river tomorrow, and saving more than one pound of food means One more day of rations survived.
At the end of the eastern side of the cropland is a high reed of the West Bank. The reeds sway with the wind, rustling, and occasionally frogs jump into the water. Two Israeli spies are hidden in the reeds, carefully watching through the swaying reeds. Not far from the busy Jericho. They swam through the wide Jordan River late last night, lurking in the reeds for a whole day, looking for the best time to mix into the city, now they finally saw the opportunity, the Jericho who had been harvested all day tired, relaxed Be wary, rushing to get more food bundles into the city before dark.
The sky was getting darker, and the two spies were on time, stepping out of the reeds, picking up two bundles of food, and entering the gate with the flow of people. Their mission is to enter the city to look at the defensive and defensive, to explore the details of the other side, so as to develop an offensive strategy and plan for Israel. The Israeli leader Joshua sent them directly out of the Israelites to ensure that they would not leak.
The city of Jericho is near, they are looking at the famous ancient city through the crops and bundles, and they are not surprised. It nestled on the Jordan River and was surrounded by low ground, but it was built on a high ground surrounded by lush palm trees. Because it is located in the north and south trade, the city wall is built by the inhabitants of the past. The wall is divided into two layers. The bottom is a five-meter-high stone wall. The wall is nine meters high. The wall is two meters thick and has a city wall. Reinforcement heightening. Not only that, there is an eight-meter-wide moat outside the city.
The two spies walked across the city gate and looked up. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. There was also a layer of inner city walls in the city, only a few meters away from the outer wall, and it was more sturdy and tall, but it was not seen from outside the city. . Even if the outer city falls, the enemy who breaks in will immediately be trapped between the two walls, and it is a dilemma and is surrounded by the defenders on the city.
The two spies put down the bundles of food with the crowd, and if they had nothing to do, they walked into the city and walked along the streets from south to north. In the evening air, there was a feeling of life and death, the streets were wide and neat, and there were crowds of people everywhere, but they all looked scared and walked with things in a hurry. Many women fetched water from the natural springs in the city and hurried home with water cans. The restaurants on both sides of the street provoked various lights, and the drunken guests cried and laughed. The patchwork of the Luna Temple can be seen everywhere, the clouds are lingering, the statue of Luna in the gods is jumping like a ghost under the flashing lights. Many drunk young men are surrounded by the temple, looking desperate, their eyes are blurred, they are hunch There are not many days, waiting to enter divination, and playing with the temple.
As the night fell, the two spies walked to the north of the city. There were many squatters in the guesthouse, and the various signs swayed in the wind, but there was no passing passengers. The old ladies sat at the door of the store and beat the waiting time. When the young prostitutes saw that the two spies were dressed up in the field, they laughed and recruited them. The two refused to move, continued to walk, and then went forward is a dark alley of black paint, knowing that rushing into the market is bound to be fierce and less, so they have to go back. At this time, they saw a young and beautiful woman leaning against the door frame. They said nothing, but they seemed to know them and they had something to say.
The two went to the beautiful prostitute as she walked into the guest shop. She turned and tied the door, saying nothing, pulling two guests to the second floor, setting God, looking at them, whispered: "You two spies, how so bold, actually swayed in the city, Now the city is full of grass and trees, and there are spies and secret agents everywhere. Some people have already noticed you just now. If you are not coming in with me, you will definitely be in danger."
The two spies face each other and see that the woman has no intention of harming each other. Just ask: "Please ask the girl's name. You are a local woman, why should we rescue us?"
"My name is Rahe." The woman said a few words, suddenly stopped, and listened to the outside, and the street outside the room became very quiet. After a while, there were voices of screaming. "Not good, there must have been a secret agent who has just arrived. Now he is gone, and the informant has gone. You hurry, come with me to the roof." After that, Raha opened the side door of the room, and there was a staircase outside the door to the roof. . There are harvested straw on the top of the building, which has been sun-dried. Rahe separated the straw, indicating that the two were kneeling, and then covered the straw on them, and then she went downstairs quietly.
The evening wind blew, the fragrant straw was pressed against the loose quilt, but the two spies did not dare to move, holding their breath, but the heart was not obedient. Late at night, the street slowly calmed down. Half an hour passed, and there was a messy running sound in the distance. The voice grew louder and louder. A group of people came downstairs, and there was a rush of slamming the door. The sound came, the threshold was twisted open, and many people rushed into her room. There were movements everywhere, and some people went upstairs, faintly talking with Raman and a man. Ten minutes passed, people left, and the streets slowly calmed down again.
Half an hour later, Rahe slammed his feet to the top of the building and brought the two spies back to the room. Under the swaying candlelight, her eyes sparkled and she said to the two: "Jerg King has just come with a soldier, because someone told him to see you coming to me. I told them that you rushed before the gate closed. When they left, they left in a hurry to catch up with you."
The two spies thanked: "Thank you for the grace of the rescue, but why are you doing this?"
Rachel said: "Because I know that the Lord God has given this land to you, because you Israel have horrified our local people, because we have heard how the Lord stopped the water of the Red Sea and let you pass. And how to bring you to destroy the two kings of the east of Jordan, Xihong and You. Your Lord is the omnipotent God, the master of heaven and earth. Although Jericho is impregnable, the Lord God will certainly give it to you."
The two spies once again thanked him: "Thank you for the girl who rescued us because of the fear of our God. How can we reward you for your help?"
Raha said: "May you point to the Lord to swear to me: I have been kind to you, and you can be kind to me and my father's house, and give me a sure answer. On the day of your massacre, ask you. Let go of my family, lest we not die under your knife."
The two answered abruptly: "We are willing to honour your life and fulfill your requirements. But how can we get out of here and return to our camp?"
Raha opened the cabinet and took out a pair of long red ribbons. The rope had two fingers. She opened the window and tied one end of the rope to the window frame and the other end to a large basket. It turned out that her house was built on the outer wall, and the window was outside the city.
Before the two spies left, they contracted with La: "The girl remembers that when we attack the city, you must take this rope that saves us again to the window, so that we can see it as a testimony we have agreed today. You must call Your father, brother, and sister are gathered here. On the day of the city's destruction, we must preserve the lives of all the people in this family." After that, the two men and Rahab said goodbye, slipping down from Zhu Hongsheng, disappearing into the hustle and bustle. In the middle of the night.
600,000 men performed the largest circumcision in history before the war
The two spies returned and reported directly to Joshua what they saw and heard. They specifically mentioned the prostitute’s rescue. After Joshua heard it, he felt that the time to cross the river was ripe.
At the beginning of the first month of the first month, the morning rose, reflecting the rushing Jordan River. The weather is getting warmer, and the melting snow of the mountains that flow in the upper reaches merges into the river, and the Jordan River is more spacious and rushing. The Israelites stationed on the east bank of the Jordan River, following the orders of Joshua, marched to the river and waited for Joshua's next instructions.
The yellow river rushes south, and the water droplets rise and fall in the vortex of the size. Joshua stood in front of the team and looked at the tribes lined up in the team. He said loudly, "Is Israel, come near, come here, listen to the Lord, your God, what you want to say. The Lord is going to be in front of you today. Do wonders, that you may know that the Lord is our banner. The priests of the tribe of Levi, you must first set out and carry the ark of God first. After entering the Jordan River, be sure to stand in the same place and wait for the back team."
After all, Joshua paused for a moment, his eyes crossed the crowd, staring at the distant Pisgah mountain, where his own teacher Moses died. Yesterday God promised Joshua, how he used to be with Moses, and he will be with Joshua in the future. Now is the time to witness the power of God. Joshua regains his gaze and looks at the team in front of him:
"Luke's tribe, you are headed, behind the priest who is carrying the ark, but keep a distance of a thousand steps, not close. Where the priests go, where are you going. Other tribes, you follow behind. In addition, every The tribes, you have to send a representative, come to me, listen to me. Today you will see the leadership of God, because I am prophesying by the Lord, the priest will enter the water of the Jordan River, the river will be cut off, revealing Riverbed, become a road. You have to cross the river at a speed, and then line up on the other side of the Jordan River."
The sun is gradually rising, and the spring breeze screams the hunting of the flags of the various tribes of Israel. The Israelites looked serious and neatly followed the priests and headed for the Jordanian river. The priests shouldered the ark, and had arrived at the river, decisively marching into the rushing river. The river flooded their ankles. At that moment, the rushing river suddenly lost its vitality. For example, after the rain, the water on the road slowly flowed to the low point, the water level gradually became lower, and the underwater rock was exposed. After a while, the riverbed Mud sand and pebbles are also exposed.
When the Israelites saw it, they were awesome to God. Although God was not visible, the power of God blocked the Jordan River. In accordance with Joshua's previous instructions, the Israelites stepped on the stones at the bottom of the river, passed by the priests, and quickly reached the west bank of the Jordan River and gathered at a height. People took a look at the upper reaches of the Jordan River and saw the water walls of the river that were piled up as barriers a hundred miles away, shining in the sun, as if there were invisible dams blocking them.
Joshua said to the representatives of the twelve tribes around him, "The Lord has commanded you to go to the priests standing by the river, picking up a stone from each of their feet, returning here, standing on our tonight. Camp. In addition, you will set up another twelve stones by the river where they stand. These two stones will serve as a eternal commemoration of Israel, commemorating the works of God today, and let the people of the world know the power of God and make your descendants Therefore fear the Lord."
After this, Joshua ordered the priests to cross the river. The priests have just set foot on the west bank of the Jordan River, and the upper water wall is like a melting icicle, rushing down. When the water flows to the river crossing hundreds of miles away, the water has been flattened and the Jordan River has returned to its original state.
After crossing the river, Israel camped in Gilgal (meaning to get rid of it). According to God's instructions, these men who were born in the desert for forty years, circumcised together after crossing the Jordan River. Three days later, on the 14th of the first month, they passed the Passover and ate lamb and unleavened bread together. Through circumcision, God washed away the shame of their slavery in Egypt and reminded them of their agreement with Abraham four hundred years ago.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they walked out of the tent and found that the manna that had been picked up for forty years had disappeared. The manna disappeared, because the Israelites finally ate the crops and native products of the land of milk and honey.
God's words will not fail.
Why is her family the only survivor?
The sky was bright, and the frogs who had been screaming for a night went to sleep. The fog of the early summer floated from the Jordan River, and the grass on the ground was adjusted like a pigment. The tall walls of Jericho City are hidden in the fog, as if they are piercing the peaks of the sky.
Joshua, who stayed up all night, walked out of the tent alone, and went to the open space outside the camp, looking at the looming Jericho, watching it as lonely as an empty city, still sleeping. Since the crossing of the river in Israel, the gates have been closed, and there has been no movement except for the vigilant figure in the city.
Joshua looked around and harvested more than half of the crops, and the heart was heavy again. How can this big city be broken? The spies found that there were plenty of food and grain in the city, and there were still springs. There was absolutely no problem in keeping them for a few years. Without the siege, how many Israeli warriors will die in order to break through such a tall and thick wall? Will morale be frustrated, will there be the same phenomenon of the fathers who were 40 years ago? Once the war situation is stagnant, it will certainly inspire other city-states around. If they take the opportunity to form a coalition and form a coalition from the north, west and south directions, Jericho is not as good as a magnet to hold iron filings and become a trap to kill all Israelis!
Thinking of this, Joshua’s forehead could not help but see the cold sweat. How can we make quick decisions and reduce casualties at the lowest level? He once again looked at the city wall and suddenly found a man coming to him through the thick fog. Joshua was shocked in his heart, subconsciously holding the hilt and striding forward to see the coming, not like the locals, but holding the sword and looking like a torch, he asked aloud: "Who are you? Is a friend of Israel." Still an enemy?"
The voice of the incoming person is not big, but it seems to penetrate the body of Joshua: "I am not your enemy. I am the marshal of the Lord's army. I am here for you." Joshua heard, look scared Going down to worship: "My Lord, do you have anything to tell me to listen to?" The man said, "Take off your shoes, because the place where you stand is holy." The mist filled the air and covered the two people at one stop.
The sun rose, and the residents of Jericho were astonished by the strange noises outside the city. It is a mix of high and low horns, mixed with the noise of heavy rain hitting the lake. They ignored the warnings of the defenders on the city, and they climbed the wall to look out of the city. They could not help but be shocked by the sights in front of them:
Outside the city, the mighty Israeli soldiers armed with various weapons, tidy, marched around Jericho. Not far behind them, there are seven priests, each holding a different horn, blowing the undulating horns. Behind them, there were two priests carrying a gold-clad cabinet (the ark). Behind it, it is the elderly and the weak people. In addition to the divergent steps of picking up the yellow mist, no one spoke, even the children were quietly on the mother's shoulders. After a week of rounds of the Israelites, the Israelites returned to their camps and never moved.
The Jericho people looked at each other and did not understand what it was. Why did the Israelites do this? But their inexplicable fears have intensified, and in the midst of them, they have foreseen that God's judgment will come to them through these Israelites. But what does the Israelis do, and what does it have to do with siege? Are they collectively exploring the terrain? Could they attack the city tomorrow? But how could they break through these sturdy walls?
The next day the sun rose as usual, and the anxious Jericho was waiting on the wall to watch the movement of Israel. The soldiers prepared bows and arrows, meteorites, asphalt, fire, and prepared for a fight. They are waiting for the Israelis to repeat the same actions as yesterday. The third day, the fourth day, is still a monotonous repetition.
The doubts and fears of the Jericho gradually became ridiculous and calm. It turned out that the Israelites could not do anything against the tall walls. Perhaps they are clumsy trying to lure us out of the city to chase them. But where do they know that the tactic we are best at is defending the city? They may not know that the city-states around them will soon be able to encircle them. Think of it this way, people are relieved to stop watching. The soldiers also gradually relaxed.
The prostitute Rahab was alert to call all her family members to her residence, the house in the city where she saved two spies. According to the agreement, she took the long red rope to the window. Every day when the Israelites circled the city, she looked down through the window and looked for the two spies she had saved. In the vagueness, she felt that they saw them. For six days, the days have passed.
In the early morning of the seventh day, Joshua called all the congregations. He looked around at the crowd and announced loudly: "Today, you have to go around the city like the first six days. Just today you have to go around seven times. You must listen to me, because God will give you this city today." The city and all its lives must be destroyed. Only the family members in the room where the prostitute Raha and her red ropes are spared, because she hides the messengers I sent. You remember, you should not take anything that is destroyed. Private use, lest you cause the whole camp of Israel to become a curse and suffer disaster. All gold, silver, copper and iron must be paid into the storeroom of God."
The sun was over, and the Israelites continued to circle the city for seven laps. They returned to the gate again. Joshua walked in front of the team and faced everyone. He shouted: "Israel, shout loudly! Because the Lord has already done this. The city is handed over to you! Shout to the city!"
Two million Israelis made their voice for the first time in seven days, and they made a deafening cry. In the shouts, Jericho was sifted by a huge sieve, and the ground was beaten like a drumstick by a drumstick. In the shouts, under the vibration, the tall wall of Jericho collapsed and the dust covered the sky. Among the dust, only the corner of the city wall stood firm, and a red rope hangs down, which is particularly eye-catching.
Joshua Jianfeng pointed out that the Israeli soldiers, like dislocated horses, armed with various weapons and rushed into the city.
