Jericho in Deuteronomy 32
JAIR-ih-koh
This place shows up in Deuteronomy 32:49: ““Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan,…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Deuteronomy 32:49
““Go up into this mountain of Abarim, to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is across from Jericho; and see the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession.”
What kids can learn
