Summary
God commanded Joshua and the Israelites to march around Jericho once daily for six days, then seven times on the seventh day, after which they blew trumpets and shouted, causing the city walls to collapse. The Israelites then destroyed the city and everything in it as God had commanded, keeping only the silver, gold, bronze, and iron items for the Lord's treasury. They spared Rahab and her family because she had hidden the Israelite spies, and she continued to live among the Israelites thereafter.
