How easily the armies of heaven brought down the walls of 493 Jericho, that proud city whose bulwarks, forty years before, had struck terror to the unbelieving spies! Thy Mighty One of Israel had said, "I have given into thine hand Jericho." Against that word human strength was powerless.

Hvor var det let for Himmelens hære at vælte Jerikos mure og omstyrte denne stolte by, hvis fæstninger fyrre år i forvejen havde slået de vantro spejdere med rædsel! Israels vældige Konge havde sagt: "Se, jeg giver Jeriko i din hånd." Menneskelig styrke kunne intet udrette over for dette ord.
