Joshua 5-7, Psalm 71

About this episode

This episode discusses the events of Joshua 5-7, including the circumcision of the new generation of Israelites and the conquest of Jericho.

Joshua and the nation of Israel have crossed the Jordan and are now in the land that the Lord swore to give to his people. As you may recall, this is a new generation of Israelites; the former generation has passed away except for Joshua and Caleb. This generation has yet to be circumcised, and so the Lord instructs Joshua to have them circumcised. Outside of Jericho, they observe the Passover, after which the manna from heaven ceases to appear. The Lord gives Joshua instructions for conquering Jericho, and after executing the instructions faithfully, the walls of the city fall to the ground. When they attack the city, however, they disobey the Lord’s commands, and it results in judgment.
