Hebrews 11:30 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down,— The faith which the apostle here commends, was the faith not only of Joshua, but also of all the pious priests, and of all the religious people. They believed God, that if they, according to his directions, did march round Jericho for seven days together, blow the trumpets and shout, at the time appointed, the walls of itwould thereupon fall to the ground. This their faith was perfectly rational, because the promise of the miracle was made by God; to whose infinite power, and not to the probability of the means, they were to look for the accomplishment of it.
