Hebrews 11:30

By faith. See on verses 1, 3.

Walls of Jericho. For the record of the incident here referred to see Joshua 6:1-24. From a military point of view the procedure Joshua took to subdue Jericho was sheer folly, but the orders he issued were in accord with the instructions God had given him. As an experienced general, he might well have substituted what would have appeared to be a better plan. But Joshua was a man of great faith as well as of great military experience, and he was ready to place more confidence in God’s revealed will than in his own knowledge of war. His faithfulness in carrying out the plan of battle God had revealed to him testified eloquently to his prowess as a man of faith.
