Joshua 4-6

I wonder what the people of Jericho thought about the nation of Israel? First they had destoyed the kings on the east side of the Jordan. Then they camped there for 30 days mourning Moses' death. Their God stopped the flow of the Jordan so that the people could cross over on dry ground. When they had setup camp near the city all their soldiers were incapacitated for a few weeks by some strange rite (5:8) which was followed by a week long celebration of the Passover(5:10). The military leaders of Jericho must have been perplexed. If Israel was this unstopable army they didn't seem to be in a hurry.
It took me 12 minutes to read this passage.
