The Call of Abram

 The Call of Abram

12 The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.
2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a]
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.”

 The Wall of Jericho is a significant biblical event that is recorded in the book of Joshua, chapter 6. According to the story, the Israelites, led by Joshua, were attempting to conquer the city of Jericho, which was a fortified city with walls surrounding it. God instructed Joshua to have the Israelites march around the city once a day for six days. On the seventh day, they were to march around the city seven times and then shout, and the walls of the city would come tumbling down. Joshua obeyed God's instructions, and on the seventh day, the Israelites marched around the city seven times and then shouted as loud as they could.
