2. It just took God’s people a while to get to where God could give them the

4. No wonder God instructed His people to take no accursed thing.
v.18
5. God held Jericho for this time; it could not escape it.

6. God removes evil by judgment.
v.24-And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein:)
