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).
The context
20And the Jordan bordered it on the east side. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, by its borders all around, according to their families.
