The parenthetic comment about Jericho that opens this chapter (Joshua 6:1) emphasizes the fact that the city had strong fortifications.
As in the previous section, the writer recorded the command of God first (Joshua 6:2-5; cf. Psalms 108:12-13) and then Joshua’s execution of the command (Joshua 6:6-21; cf. Joshua 3:7-8; Joshua 4:1-3; Joshua 4:15-16). Unlike Moses, who at the burning bush argued at length with the Lord about His plan (Exodus 3:11 to Exodus 4:17), Joshua obeyed without question.
