## Facts:

Jericho was a powerful city in the land of Canaan. It was located just west of the Jordan River and just north of the Salt Sea.
|
||
|
||
* As all Canaanites did, the people of Jericho worshiped false gods.
|
||
* Jericho was the first city in the land of Canaan that God told the Israelites to conquer.
|
||
* When Joshua led the Israelites against Jericho, God did a great miracle to help them defeat the city.
