📚 Historical Context
In the book of Joshua, after the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land, they encountered the heavily fortified city of Jericho as a major obstacle to their conquest. God instructed Joshua and the Israelites to march around the city once a day for six days and seven times on the seventh day, accompanied by priests blowing trumpets made from rams' horns, as an act of faith rather than a conventional military strategy. When they obeyed this divine command, the walls of Jericho collapsed miraculously, allowing the Israelites to take the city.
