My Bible Story
After Moses died, Joshua became the leader of Israel. God told him not to be afraid because He would be with him just like He was with Moses. When Israel approached Jericho, God gave Joshua unusual instructions: march around the city once for six days, and seven times on the seventh day, then shout! Joshua obeyed, and the walls fell down.
