And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.
(Joshua 6:8)By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
(Hebrews 11:30) Tactic and strategy
God's methods and strategies are infallible and cannot be understood by human understanding. The city of Jericho was conquered by Joshua by following God's instructions to the letter. The city was given over to depravity and disobedience, but a remnant was saved, including Rahab who became part of Jesus' genealogy.
