Bible Question: How far is it around the walls of Jericho? |
Bible Answer: Greetings SDTaylor, I could find only limited information on the size of Jericho. The Nelson’s illustrated Bible dictionary states: "By far the most imposing site of the three is Old Testament Jericho, a pear-shaped mound about 366 meters (400 yards) long, north to south, 183 meters (200 yards) wide at the north end, and some 67 meters (70 yards) high. It has been the site of numerous archaeological diggings." The Believer’s study Bible in 6:2–5 says "Jericho was a city of about 9 acres that would have taken about 20–30 minutes to march around." The city, which was built on a hill, was fortified by a double ring of walls, the outer 6 feet thick and the inner 12 feet thick. prayon |
