<P> Other ancient walls from the tell, different from the one discussed here, were built of unbaked mud bricks set in mud mortar on a foundation of stone . The Neolithic bricks were hand - made and in differing shapes for different periods . They can be distinguished from the Bronze Age bricks, which were made in rectangular molds, and were about 2 inches by 14 by 10 (ca . 5 x 35 x 25 cm). </P> <P> The Book of Joshua deals with Jericho during the Late Bronze Age, at around 1400 BCE, which is some 6400 years after the neolithic "Wall of Jericho" fell out of use . This segment has been created in order to avoid any confusion between the two different walls . </P> <P> In the Book of Joshua, the city of Jericho was the first Canaanite city that the Israelites attacked upon their entry into Canaan . The Israelites destroyed the Bronze Age wall of Jericho by walking around it with the Ark of the Covenant for seven days . The Israelites circled the walls once per day for the first six days, then circled the walls seven times on the final day . The Israelites under Joshua's command blew trumpets of rams' horns and shouted to make the walls fall down (Joshua 6: 14 - 15). This account from the Book of Joshua is one event in the larger narrative of the Israelite conquest of the biblical Canaan . </P>
