Script Summary:

This script tells how God helped Joshua and the Israelites conquer the city of Jericho. Jericho was locked up, but God gave Joshua special instructions: march around the city for six days with the priests blowing trumpets. On the seventh day, they marched seven times, gave a loud shout, and the walls fell down. The Israelites took the city, but saved Rahab, who had protected their spies. After the victory, Joshua warned everyone not to rebuild Jericho. This story shows how trusting God and obeying His commands can lead to great miracles.
