* Joshua sent two men to spy on Jericho.  They stayed at Rahab's house.  The king found out 
    about the spies and sent soldiers to find them. Rahab hid the spies on her roof and helped them 
    to escape by hanging a scarlet (red) rope from her window.  They climbed down the rope and returned
    to Joshua.  They promised her that she and her family would be safe when the city was attacked.

 * The country to which the Israelites had come was called Canaan.  It was also called the Promised
    Land because God had promised it years before to their fathers and grandfathers.

 * After they entered the land of Canaan, they began to eat the fruit and grain that was growing there.
    The manna from heaven stopped coming because now there was food to eat from the land.

 * They were camped near the city of Jericho.  Jericho had a great wall around it and big, heavy
    gates.  The people of Jericho had heard about the Israelites and were very afraid of them.

 * God gave Joshua a plan for the capture of the city.  On six days the soldiers were to march
   around the city one time each day.  Some priests were to march with them, and seven priests
    were to blow on trumpets made of rams' horns.  No one was to speak a word.  They followed
    the plan as God had told them.

 * On the seventh day at God's command, they marched around the city seven times.  The priests 
    blew on the trumpets and the people  gave a great shout.  The walls fell down flat and they were
    able to capture the city.

 * They found the red rope that Rahab had hung from her window, and they saved Rahab and her
    family.  Later Rahab married a man of Israel.  They had a son and in later generations, a child
    was born who would become a king of Israel.  His name was David and he was the
    great-great-grandson of Rahab.  Many years after that, another child was born in the same
   family.  His name was ... Jesus.

 The story of the fall of Jericho can be found in the Bible in the book of Joshua 5:13-15 and 
 chapter 6.
