The Battle of Jericho is one of the most famous stories in Joshua, but there’s more happening than walls simply falling down. In this episode, Sam and Will explore Jericho as the wealthy and fortified “City of Palms,” Rahab’s decision to hide the Israelite spies, the meaning behind Israel marching around the city with the Ark of the Covenant, and how ancient coronation imagery may help explain God’s unusual battle strategy.
