נפילת יריחו
Nefilat Yericho

The Fall of Jericho happened when God commanded Joshua and the Israelites to march around the city walls of Jericho for seven days.
They marched around once a day for six days. On the seventh day, they marched around seven times, then blew shofarot (ram’s horns) and shouted, causing the walls to collapse.
The Israelites then entered the city, killing all people and animals except for Rahab, the prostitute, and her family.
Afterwards, Joshua cursed anyone who would rebuild the city of Jericho.
The Israel Bible is the world’s first Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) centered around the Land of Israel, the People of Israel, and the dynamic relationship between them.
