Jericho was one of the first cities ever to be created, and also the first fortified town. The outer wall was over 20 feet tall, and 6.5 feet thick, and the inner wall was even taller and wider. It also happened to be the promise land that the lord had promised the Israelites. Conquering the city of Jericho was a seemingly impossible task due to the massive walls protecting the city, but the Lord had a plan. The Lord told Joshua of his plan to conquer the city, and Joshua told his people exactly what to do in order to overthrow Jericho. Joshua 6: 1-21 is part of The Book of Joshua and is the only evidence of the city being taken over by the Israelites.
