Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 11

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 11:30
  
  By faith the walls of Jericho fell down: Joshua and the Israelites under his leadership showed faith by following Jehovah’s instructions on how to fight against Jericho. (Jos 6:2-5) From a military standpoint, the battle strategy may have seemed foolish. For the first six days, there was no visible result; yet, in faith Joshua and his soldiers obediently marched around the city, followed by the priests carrying the Ark. After marching on the seventh day, the priests blew the horns and the people raised a great shout. In response to their faith, Jehovah performed a miracle: “The wall fell down flat.”—Jos 6:6-20.
