And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.
Destruyeron completamente todo lo que había en la ciudad con sus espadas: hombres y mujeres, jóvenes y ancianos, junto con todo el ganado, las ovejas y los burros.
Los israelitas destruyeron por completo toda vida en la ciudad de Jericó, tanto personas como animales.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the biblical narrative, Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land after their exodus from Egypt, as God fulfilled His covenant promises to Abraham by giving them this territory. The command to utterly destroy Jericho, including its people and animals, was part of God's judgment on the Canaanites for their persistent idolatry, moral corruption, and practices that opposed His holiness. This event underscores the ancient warfare context of the time, where total conquest was a common practice in the ancient Near East, reflecting God's sovereignty in executing justice.
