Proposed Plan of Ancient Jericho (see note) JOSHUA SEES JERICHO SHUT TIGHT Having just conquered one obstacle of an uncrossable river, now commander Joshua sees another significant obstacle of a seemingly impenetrable city. THOUGHT - As as aside, is this not a picture of most of our lives? We seem to go from one obstacle to another. What's your "Jericho" as you study this chapter? Israel could not simply bypass Jericho for this obstacle had to be conquered before they could make progress in the land. The could not leave an unconquered stronghold. Similarly believers must conquer their "Jericho" or further progress in the Christian life is virtually impossible. In describing the believer's warfare Paul describes our need to be "pulling down strongholds." (2Co 10:3-5KJV+). We need to learn to see our obstacles as opportunities to experience the power of Christ in our life as Paul did in 2Co 12:9-10+. Now - In context of previous verses Joshua 5:13-15, this introduces a statement that in effect functions like a parenthesis, which separates the conversation between the Captain and Joshua in Joshua 5 and Joshua 6:2. You might take a moment to observe the overview charts above to help see that we are now entering into a new section for Joshua 1:5 has to do with "Entering Canaan" and Joshua 6-12 deals with "Conquering Canaan" which will take Israel about 7 years, first conquering the central area, then the southern area and finally the northern territory. CHAPTER 1-5 CHAPTER 6-12 ENTERING CANAAN CONQUERING CANAAN GET RIGHT BEFORE YOU FIGHT! Jericho was tightly shut because of the sons of Israel; no one went out and no one came in - Young's Literal - “And Jericho shutteth itself up, and is shut up”. Tightly shut up in Hebrew is the verb cagar which is repeated twice for emphasis (see note below). A. W.
