Places
Jericho in Joshua 2
JAIR-ih-koh
This place shows up in Joshua 2:1: “Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out of Shittim as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, including Jericho.” They went and came…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Joshua 2:1
“Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out of Shittim as spies, saying, “Go, view the land, including Jericho.” They went and came into the house of a prostitute whose name was Rahab, and slept there.”
What kids can learn
When you hear jericho in Joshua, remember the sentence around it. God put this place in the story on purpose.
Read Joshua 2:1 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
