Hebrews 11:30 - Exposition

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about seven days (see Joshua 6:1-21 ). The capture of Jericho may be selected for mention, not only because of its extraordinary character, but also as being the beginning of the campaign in Canaan, the first necessary conquest that opened the way to the rest. The history is not further pursued in detail, this being sufficient to suggest it all. Only, for a special reason, the case of Rahab has attention drawn to it.
