IT was on the tenth day of the first month (Nisan in the spring - not January in the winter) that Israel crossed the Jordan River and made camp in Canaan at a spot called Gilgal. The west border of the camp wasn't much more than a mile from Jericho, a thick-walled city swarming with enemy soldiers. (Joshua 4:19-24.) Israel's First Passover in Canaan; It had been just forty years before - minus five days - that Israel had fled from Egypt. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
