Does anyone have any ideas on what the Israelites might have shouted at the walls of Jericho ? We shan't know in this life but I am interested to hear what people think that they might have shouted .
I believe it was a shout for joy. The victory was already determined.
What they shouted had no significance in the battle.
They didn't begin to compass the city until Joshua 6:10.
The Lord gave them victory in Joshua 6:2 "And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
The people of Israel had just crossed over the Jordan River into the land of Canaan.
This was the land of milk and honey God had promised to Abraham over 500 years earlier.
Their first obstacle was the city of Jericho.
By faith they were able to perform what their fathers didn't do in canaan 40 years ago.
By faith they performed the task at hand by walking around the city and blowing the trumpets.
1 Thessalonians Ch 4 V 16+17 , yes , I know it appears to be of no significance but find it odd that we are not told what they shouted . If we look up the word shout in a concordance it occurs quite few times and we are never told what is actually shouted . This intrigues me , I wonder if it could be Hallelujah ? We shall find out eventually . Jesus is coming brothers and sisters , let keep our eyes on the middle East and as the Israelites were told to have their coats and shoes on , to be ready to go when the LORD called them out of Egypt , we need to be set in our hearts and minds , ready to abandon this world without a backward glance , eyes fixed forward on our Salvation . Remember Lots wife !
My dad died peacefully yesterday , I was at his side . God is so very merciful . He'd been brought up a catholic but had lapsed . I think he still had some faith in his heart but he wasn't perfect by far , but then none of us are are we ?
May God continue to bless and be merciful to all of His creation and may He save us all and bless us with His Kingdom on His Earth very soon . When it is your will Dear Heavenly Father . Through Jesus Christ our Saviour , Amen .
I am sorry to hear of your dad's passing. May you and your family be comforted, knowing that God's ways are perfect. He knew your dad perfectly so loved ones can have peace when someone they love passes on.
God will each person in perfect peace whose eyes are steadfast upon the Lord and who trust Him in all things.

I went through the same thing a few years ago with my younger brother.
I pray the Lord comfort you and the family.
Blessings.
