Po Hebrejskoj Bibliji u Jerihonu, veruje se da se Bog obratio Joshui, Mojsijevom nasledniku, i dao mu je instrukcije da hoda oko zidina grada jednom svakog šestog dana sa sedam sveštenika noseći ovnovske rogove i praćeni Zavetnim kovčegom, zlatnim kovčegom koji sadrži Deset zapovesti.
According to the Hebrew Bible, Jericho is believed to be where God spoke to Joshua, the successor to Moses, and instructed him to march around the walled city once every six days with seven priests carrying rams' horns and followed by the Ark of the Covenant, the golden chest containing the Ten Commandments.
