BRAGADAYJAH 637
Joshua’s Curse of Jericho
Having conquered and burnt it to the ground, Joshua placed a
curse on anyone who would rebuild that city.
“Cursed before the Lord be any one who rebuild this city,” Joshua swore.
At the cost of his first son will he lay the foundation; at the cost of his
youngest son will he set up its gates.
So the Lord continued with Joshua. And at that time he sent
spies to A located on the East of Bethel with instructions to go and spy out
the land. And they returned and reported
that there was no need for all the men at arms should go up against AI because
only a few men were there. They
recommended to Joshua that two or three thousand men should be able to capture
the city easily. So Joshua sent three thousand men and they were routed by the
men of AI who chased and killed some of them; and hearing the news the hearts
of the people of Israel melted and they were afraid.
