QUESTION: Why do you believe that the Israelites marched around the walls of Jericho thirteen times?

ANSWER: In the book of Joshua, chapter six, verse fourteen, we learn that they marched around the city once a day for six days, a total of six times! On the seventh day they marched around it a total of seven times (vs.15). Adding the six times to the seven times, we see a total of thirteen times!
