Joshua chapter 6 describes the fall of the walls of Jericho, one of the most famous biblical stories of conquest. God commanded the Israelites to march around the city for six days, with the priests touching trumpets and carrying the ark of the covenant. On the seventh day, after seven turns around the city, the people of Israel released a great cry, and the walls fell miraculously. Below is five verses related to topics covered in Joshua 6, excluding verses of the chapter itself:

Hebrews 11:30: "By faith, the walls of Jericho fell, being surrounded for seven days by the armies." This verse is part of the chapter of faith in Hebrews, which highlights examples of men and women who lived by faith. The reference to the fall of the walls of Jericho shows that faith was what allowed the Israelites to win a fortified city.

Psalm 118:10-12: "All nations surrounded me, but in the name of the Lord I destroyed them. They surrounded me, surrounded me everywhere, but in the name of the Lord I destroyed them." These verses are a song of praise to God for victory over enemies. Although they are applicable to various conflict situations, they may be related to the fall of the walls of Jericho.

Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon forged against you will prosper; and every language to rise against you in judgment, you thou shalt be condemned; this is the inheritance of the servants of the Lord, and His righteousness to me, says the Lord. " This verse brings a promise of protection and victory to God's servants. Although it is a more general text, it can be applied to the case of the conquest of Jericho.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5: "For the weapons of our militia are not carnal, but powerful in God to destroy the fortresses; destroying the councils, and all the haughtiness that rises against the knowledge of God, and taking all captive understanding to Christ's obedience. " These verses talk about the spiritual nature of war that Christians face. Although they are from the New Testament, they can be applied to the fall of the walls of Jericho as an example of how God can destroy fortresses.

2 Chronicles 20:15: "You do not fear, nor are you scary because of this great multitude; for the fight is not yours, but of God." This verse is part of Jehoshaphat's speech to Judah's armies before the battle against the Moabites and Ammonites. Although not a direct reference to the conquest of Jericho, the message that victory comes from God is applicable to all situations of conflict.
