Joshua circumcises the new generation and they "eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan". No more manna from heaven. Joshua encounters an angelic commander of a heavenly army. "Put off your shoes from your feet; for the place where you stand is holy". Does this mean holy war? The army take over Jericho and "the wall of the city will fall down flat". Or is it Rahab who opens the gate at the signal? They sacked Jericho in the customary way of the day by destroyed every living thing. "But all silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are sacred to the Lord". Achan was discovered to be the thief among them who conveted a beautiful mantle, silver and gold. As was customary at that time the entire family was executed for the crime.
