Biblical Archaeology Review Fall 2020: Winners
And the Winner Is …
“Listen Joshua, due to recent social distancing guidelines, the attack on Jericho is going to be a little less direct.”
—Adam Z. Farnes, Chubbuck, Idaho
Thank you to all those who submitted caption entries for our Fall 2020 cartoon, based on Joshua 5:13–14: “Once when Joshua was by Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing before him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went to him and said to him, ‘Are you one of us, or one of our adversaries?’ He replied, ‘Neither; but as commander of the army of the LORD I have now come.’ And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and he said to him, ‘What do you command your servant, my lord?’”
We are pleased to congratulate Adam Z. Farnes of Chubbuck, Idaho, who wrote the winning caption, and our runners-up.
