Today: Jericho (Ariha), West Bank
A city in the Jordan valley, about 15 miles (25 km) northeast of Jerusalem and not far from the river.
It was the first city Israel took in Canaan; its walls fell (Josh 6:20). Centuries later Jesus passed through Jericho and saved Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10).
27And it came about, at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua gave command, and they took them down from the trees and threw them into the cave where they had hidden, and they put great stones on the mouth of the cave, which are there until this very day.
