Jericho had closed its gates because of the Israelites, and no one went in or out. But Jehovah said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho to you with its king and its able warriors. You shall march around the city, all the soldiers going about the city once. You shall do this for six days, and on the seventh day the people shall make the attack, each man going up straight before him.”

Then Joshua said to the people, “March around the city and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Jehovah. You shall not shout the battle-cry nor let your voice be

heard; not a word shall escape from your mouth until the day I say to you, ‘Shout the battle-cry’; then you shall shout!” So he had the ark of Jehovah carried around the city once; then they returned to the camp and spent the night there. The second day they also marched around the city once and returned to the camp. Thus they did six days. The seventh day they rose early at dawn and made the circuit of the city in the same way, only on that day they marched about the city seven times. The seventh time the priests blew the trumpets, and Joshua said to the people, “Shout the battle-cry; for Jehovah has given you the city. The city and all that is in it shall be sacrificed to Jehovah; only Rahab and those who are with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.”

So the people shouted the battle-cry and the wall fell down and they went straight up into the city and captured it. But Joshua spared the lives of Rahab and her father’s family

and all that she had, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to explore Jericho; and they have lived among the Israelites even to this day.

5a) The parable begins with a young man, the younger of two sons, who asks his father to give him his share of the estate. The implication is the son couldn’t wait for his father’s death for his inheritance, he wanted it immediately.
The father agrees and divides his estate between both sons. Upon receiving his portion of the inheritance, the younger son travels to a distant country and wastes all his money in extravagant living. Immediately thereafter, a famine strikes the land; he becomes desperately poor and is forced to take work as a swineherd. (This would have
been abhorrent to Jesus’ Jewish audience, who considered swinev unclean animals.) When he reaches the point of envying the food of the pigs he is watching, he finally comes to his senses: The son does not even have time to finish
his rehearsed speech, since the father calls for his servants to dress him in a fine robe, a ring, and sandals, and laughter the “fattened calf” for a celebratory meal. The older son, who was at work in the fields, hears the sound of
celebration, and is told about the return of his younger brother. He is not impressed, and becomes angry: The parable concludes with the father explaining that because the younger son had returned, in a sense, from the dead, celebration was necessary:”But it was appropriate to celebrate and be glad, for this, your brother, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.”
