[edit] POV

"If the Old Testament version is accurate on all facts and not a fictionalized account, then this would likely be considered a genocide."

This is a blatant POV statement, so I removed it. Also this section needs some more scholarly references on either side, not just the "we don't believe it really happened" side. There is much research the indicates there was a conquest of Canaan. Kristamaranatha (talk) 22:01, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] breaking the sabbath?

The Israelites marched around jericho once a day for six days and seven times on the seventh day. At one time or another they marched on the sabbath travelling a good distance from their tents. It is forbidden to travel 'outside ones dwelling place' [town/community/city] for any reason. Explanation is much appretiated. Craobh sidhe (talk) 18:46, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
