Joshua 6: The wall fell down flat

Read Joshua 6:1-27 before you meet.

In a few lines

The LORD said "I have given Jericho into your hand" (6:2) before anyone marched a step, and for six days Israel walked around the city, told not to say a word (6:10). The wall fell just as he had said it would (6:5, 6:20). And Joshua's oath over the city came to pass in Ahab's day, "according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke by Joshua" (1 Kings 16:34).

The verse to carry

“The LORD said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor.”

Joshua 6:2

To talk about

  1. 1. For six days Israel walked around the city once and went back to camp (6:14), and the wall didn't fall until the seventh day (6:20). What helps you keep doing what God has asked when you can't yet see anything happening?

  2. 2. Rahab was brought out of Jericho, and she came to live "in the middle of Israel" (6:25). What would it look like for your group to make room in the middle for someone new?

  3. 3. Nothing in Jericho was Israel's to keep: the city was devoted to the LORD, and its metals were "holy to the LORD" (6:17-19). What is hardest for you to hand over to God completely, without keeping a little back?
