Hello and welcome to today's episode where we'll be exploring one of the most dramatic military campaigns in the Bible: Joshua's conquest of Jericho and Ai. These events took place around the 15th to 13th century BCE (scholars debate the exact dating), as the Israelites, having escaped slavery in Egypt and wandered in the desert for forty years, were finally poised to enter and conquer the land promised to them by their God. The Canaanite city-states that occupied this territory were fortified, established communities with their own religious and cultural practices, setting the stage for a significant clash of civilizations.
