And ye went over Jordan,.... In a miraculous manner, the waters parting to make way for the host of Israel:and came unto Jericho; the first city of any size and strength in the land, which was about seven or eight miles from Jordan;See Gill on "Nu 22:1";and the men of Jericho fought against you; by endeavouring to intercept their spies, and cut them off; by shutting up the gates of their city against Israel; and it may be throwing darts, arrows, and stones, from off the walls of it at them.
