Synopsis:
After 40 years of wandering in the desert, the Israelites, led by Joshua, stand at the gates of the Promised Land. Facing the almost impenetrable walls of Jericho, they carry out God’s unlikely battle plan: marching around the city for seven days with priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant. On the final day, with the blast of trumpets and shouts, the mighty walls collapse — a miraculous victory that underscores the power of faith and divine promise.
