Joshua 2:8
"The men pursued them along the way to the fords of the Jordan River. As soon as those who pursued them had gone out, they shut the gate."
Key Reflection
The men from Jericho were so terrified by the discovery of the spies that their fear paralyzed them—so much so that they could not even secure the city gates as soon as the pursuing soldiers had departed. This reaction would have been immediately clear to the original audience, highlighting the profound impact and realism of the biblical narrative in conveying the immediate and overwhelming effect of divine intervention on the inhabitants of Jericho.
