Commentary — Trumpets, Trouble, and Triumph — Joshua 6–10
First, Jericho shows that God’s strategies may seem strange. Yet His wisdom stands. The people march, the priests blow the ram’s horns, and the walls fall. Next, Achan’s theft exposes how private sin hurts everyone. Because he hid the devoted things, Israel suffers a painful loss at Ai. Afterward, repentance leads to a second chance. Joshua follows the Lord’s plan, and the army wins decisively. Meanwhile, at Gibeon, the Lord defends His people and extends the day. So the lesson is clear: trust God’s word, even when the path looks unusual.
