Ierichō: Jericho A rare proper noun in the New Testament (six verses). Cambridge records the city's layered history at this spot, "taken by Joshua," refounded under Hiel, and visited by Elisha and Elijah before the whirlwind, and describes the Herodian palaces, theatre and aqueduct standing there in Christ's day. The last miracle of the Galilean road is worked at the first city Israel was given.
