CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
“The Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the valiant warriors. You shall march around the city, all the men of war circling the city once. You shall do so for six days. Also seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark; then on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight ahead.”
Joshua 6:2-5 NASB1995
There are many commands of God that have a functional purpose. For example, it makes sense that the Israelites abided by all the rules concerning leprosy so that it wouldn’t spread to others. There are other commands, like those given to Joshua concerning the conquest of Jericho, that don’t really make logical sense. God told him that He has given the city to them, but God still required something to receive the gift. He required them to march, shout, and blow rams horns. Why? I don’t know nor does anyone. All we can say is that it was a command of God to receive the otherwise free gift that was being given to them. Would they have received the city if they only marched 6 times around the city on the 7th day? Certainly not because they didn’t do all that God commanded. I encourage you to keep these thoughts in mind when studying instructions from God in His word. It may be that we sometimes question God’s commands if they are really necessary. The fact is that if we love Him we will keep His commands. John 14:15
