The battle of Jericho is detailed in Joshua 6. This is the battle the narrative has been leading to, with the descriptions of the preparation of the people and commands of God that required obedience.
In this chapter, further commands are given, and we see that sometimes obedience to God can demand that we obey commands that seem somewhat strange and perhaps even boring. Yet, just as Israel obeyed God through this, we are called to obey God completely as well. No matter how strange or mundane obedience seems, it is only through complete and total obedience that God's plan, and our role in that plan, will be revealed.
