Actually, I have read the text. What has a text datable at best to 2nd
century BCE got to do with the 13th century BCE? Would you like to make a
case for using such a text? Would you use the Morte d'Arthur for pre-Saxon
England?

>(you need to explain the grain).

From my previous post:

>[3] not plundered of grain 

I could find no comments on grain in the Joshua account. This point might
be important to you but seems totally irrelevant to me.

In the same post I also dealt with most of your other grievances posed in
your previous post regarding the hypothetical fall of Jericho as outlined
in Joshua.

>I also gave you a quote from Kenyon re. Jericho's walls that you apparently

Kenyon didn't uncover the walls of Jericho and therefore didn't know much
about them.
