The Old Testament in Context

Jericho: 11,000 Years of History


Listen Later

Think the oldest cities are in Europe? Think again. Jericho has been inhabited, conquered, and rebuilt for over 11,000 years—older than Stonehenge, older than the pyramids, older than widespread agriculture.


Most people only know Joshua 6, but this city appears throughout the Old Testament at every major transition point: Balaam's blessing, the conquest, Ehud's assassination of Eglon, David's humiliated ambassadors, Hiel's curse, and Elijah's departure.


Let's explore the city that won't stay dead.
