About this episode
The people in Jericho did six things - three of them the rabbis did not protest against and three of them they did protest. What did they do and what was the issue with what they did? Also the king Chizkiyahu did six things - three was approved by the rabbis and three were not. There are different traditions about what were the six things that the people of Jericho did. There is also disagreement about the cases that the rabbis did not protest, was it because they approved or did they not approve but also did not make an issue out of those things? The gemara goes through each act that they did and explains why they did it and why did the rabbis react?
