Yehoshua Perek 6

• Hashem tells Yehoshua the plan to take over Yericho, the fortified city:

• All the soldiers should circle around Yericho for six days.

• Seven kohanim should follow the Aron Hakodesh while holding Shofars.

• On the seventh day, they should circle Yericho seven times.

• They should blow the shofar on that last day and the soldiers should be commanded to make a lot of noise. Then the walls of Yericho will fall directly into the ground.

• Yehoshua carried out Hashem’s plan with the Jewish army.

• Yehoshua commanded his soldiers not take from the spoils of war. Yehoshua pronounced all the spoils of war kodesh for Hashem.

• The army was commanded to protect Rachav.

• Calev and Pinchas saved Rachav’s family, bringing her back to Klal Yisroel. Yehoshua set Yericho ablaze and went to war against them. Yericho was defeated.

• Yehoshua put a curse on anyone who would try to rebuild Yericho.

• Yehoshua’s fame spread throughout the land.
