民数记13-14;约书亚记2-3；5-6
Moses sent twelve spies into the Promised Land. Ten of them said, "We will never defeat the people there." But Joshua and Caleb said, “With God’s help, we can do it!"
上帝应许赐绐以色列人一片美好的土地。摩西打发十二个探子去应许之地打探消息。其中十个探子回来说：“那里的人太厉害了！我们绝对不可能打败他们。”但是约书亚和迦勒说：“上帝会帮助我们，我们一定能打败他们！
Frightened, the people believed the ten spies. God said, "Only your children, with Joshua and Caleb, will enter the Promised Land."So, after forty years in the
desert, it was time!
人们相信了那十个探子的话，感到非常恐惧。上帝说：“你们既然不信我，就不能进入应许之地；你们的后代和约书亚、迦勒将会进入那地。”以色列人在旷野漂泊了四十年后，终于到了要进入应许之地的时候了！
Joshua sent two spies into Jericho. They met a woman called Rahab, who hid them and helped them escape down the wall. They promised to spare her and her family.
约书亚打发两个探子去耶利哥城打探消息。二人被城里的士兵发现了，于是他们到处躲藏。他们在城里遇见了一个名叫喇合的女人。喇合将他们藏起来躲避了士兵的搜索并帮助他们逃出城去。他们就答应以后来攻打耶利哥城的时候保证喇合一家人的安全。
The Israelites crossed the Jordan River. The priests went first, carrying the Ark of the Covenant. When their feet touched the river, it stopped flowing!
Everyone crossed on dry land.
在进入应许之地前，以色列人要过约旦河。祭司抬着上帝的约柜走在前面。他们的脚一入水，河水立刻从远处断流了！他们就都走干地过了河。
Jericho was next. The Lord told Joshua, "For six days,march once around Jericho.Then, on day seven, march around seven times. Blow trumpets! Shout! The walls
will fall down."
接着，他们要攻打耶利哥城。上帝告诉约书亚：“你们的士兵每天要围绕耶利哥城走一次，连续走六天。到第七天，要绕城走七次。大声吹响号角！高声呼喊！城墙就一定会倒塌。”
Joshua trusted God. He did what the Lord said, and the walls fell down! They took the city. Rahab was spared. God's people began to take the Promised Land.
约书亚相信上帝。他照着上帝的话去做，城墙就真的倒塌了！他们占领了耶利哥城。喇合一家平安获救。就这样，上帝的百姓幵始占领应许之地。
