The fall of Jericho

After seven days of circling, the wall of Jericho fell flat at the shout, and the city was devoted to destruction, Rahab's household spared (Joshua 6:20-25), 1451 BC.

📖 Joshua 6:1–3

1Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in. 2And the LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have delivered Jericho into your hand, along with its king and its mighty men of valor. 3March around the city with all the men of war, circling the city one time. Do this for six days.
