Places
Jericho in Joshua 5
JAIR-ih-koh
This place shows up in Joshua 5:10: “The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
Joshua 5:10
“The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.”
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 5:10 again tomorrow and ask what the place is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
