Are the Israelites Crazy?

By Wallace Phalling, The Jericho Harold staff writer.

For weeks now, people of Jericho have been anxious about the rumored coming of the Israelites from the other side of the Jordan.

While Rahab says that, she is happy to be out of the industry, many others are not and are having hard financial times. With out the support from husbands these women have come to rely on the……..
