The theme of Joshua 5-6 is “The Walls Came Tumbling Down,” describing Israel’s miraculous victory at Jericho, their first major conquest in Canaan. Before the battle, God commanded the younger males to be circumcised, fulfilling their covenant with Abraham. The Israelites celebrated Passover and began eating the land’s produce instead of manna. Joshua encountered the commander of the Lord’s army, believed to be a manifestation of Jesus. God provided an unusual strategy: March around Jericho’s walls for six days, then seven times on the seventh day, blow trumpets and shout. The walls fell solely by God’s power, while Rahab and her family were spared due to her faith. These events highlight the importance of obedience and trust in God’s supernatural power for victory.
