Hebrews 11:30 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This Divine faith, exercised by Joshua and Israel after their entrance into the Land of Promise, (who did, on God's word and command, compass the impregnable walls of Jericho once every day for six days together, and on the seventh day seven times, sounding with trumpets of rams horns, and at last giving a shout), brought down these walls flat to the ground by the almiglity power of God, to whom they were as nothing, Joshua 6:20. Faith in all this realized God's promise to them, reached forth their love to him, and obedience in all particulars required by him, glorifying God, as the great Captain of their hosts, as he revealed himself, Joshua 5:13-15; committing the work and event to him, who, by the breath of faith, doth crumble down these walls before them.

Hebrews 11:30

30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
