Philoxenus of Mabbug

Josué 6:3

For when they had passed over the Jordan, Joshua commanded them to go round Jericho seven days, each day once, and on the seventh day to go round seven times, and he and the priests were to go before them carrying horns and the ark of the Lord; and the whole people followed after Joshua and after the ark in simplicity, like children following their fathers. — 13 Ascetic Discourses, Discourse 4 -- On Faith: First Discourse on Simplicity

Josué 6:20

And why should I speak concerning the prophets [only] in the case of a nation in the whole of which—together with women and children—faith showed forth such mighty triumphs as these? For faith, as it had been commanded, cried out, and the walls [of Jericho] were not able to stand against its voice. In every place faith manifested such triumphs as these, and it worked marvellous things in all the Holy Books. He that hath perceived the power of faith, and hath had experience thereof in very deed, knoweth that it wrought these things, and he believeth also that it doeth [still] such things as these. — 13 Ascetic Discourses, Discourse 2 -- On Faith
