It was by faith that the people of Israel marched around Jericho for seven days, and the walls came crashing down.\nHebrews 11:30 NLT\nThen Joshua secretly sent out two spies from the Israelite camp at Acacia Grove. He instructed them, \u201cScout out the land on the other side of the Jordan River, especially around Jericho.\u201d So the two men set out and came to the house of a prostitute named Rahab and stayed there that night. But someone told the king of Jericho, \u201cSome Israelites have come here tonight to spy out the land.\u201d So the king of Jericho sent orders to Rahab: \u201cBring out the men who have come into your house, for they have come here to spy out the whole land.\u201d Rahab had hidden the two men, but she replied, \u201cYes, the men were here earlier, but I didn\u2019t know where they were from. They left the town at dusk, as the gates were about to close. I don\u2019t know where they went. If you hurry, you can probably catch up with them.\u201d (Actually, she had taken them up to the roof and hidden them beneath bundles of flax she had laid out.) So the king\u2019s men went looking for the spies along the road leading to the shallow crossings of the Jordan River. And as soon as the king\u2019s men had left, the gate of Jericho was shut. Before the spies went to sleep that night, Rahab went up on the roof to talk with them. \u201cI know the Lord has given you this land,\u201d she told them. \u201cWe are all afraid of you. Everyone in the land is living in terror. For we have heard how the Lord made a dry path for you through the Red Sea when you left Egypt. And we know what you did to Sihon and Og, the two Amorite kings east of the Jordan River, whose people you completely destroyed.\nJoshua 2:1\u202d-\u202c10 NLT\nFor the Lord will pass through the land to strike down the Egyptians. But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the Lord will pass over your home. He will not permit his death angel to enter your house and strike you down.\nExodus 12:23 NLT\n\n--- \n\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pastor-lucy-paynter/support
