animal kingdom - walls of jericho So, jetzt machen wir einen Exkurs in die Bibel: Jericho aber war verschlossen und verwahrt vor den Israeliten, sodass niemand heraus- oder hineinkommen konnte. Aber der HERR sprach zu Josua: Sieh, ich habe Jericho samt seinem König und seinen Kriegsleuten in deine Hand gegeben. Lass alle Kriegsmänner rings um die Stadt herumgehen "einmal" und tu so sechs Tage lang. Und lass sieben Priester sieben Posaunen tragen vor der Lade her, und am siebenten Tage zieht siebenmal um die Stadt und lass die [...]
