Notes: A strictly literal translation of the Greek text of RV HEB 11:30 · LV HEB 11:30 · Read together HEB 11:30 may be extremely difficult, since it is usually necessary to employ an active form involving movement so as to specify what entities go around. Therefore, it may be preferable to translate ‘the walls of Jericho fell after the Israelites had gone around them for seven days.’
