Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho
/ˌdʒɒʃuə fɪt ðə ˌbætl əv ˈdʒerɪkəʊ/
/ˌdʒɑːʃuə fɪt ðə ˌbætl əv ˈdʒerɪkəʊ/
- an old African Americanspiritual based on the story of Joshua in the Bible. 'Fit' represents a way of saying 'fought'. The song tells how Joshua captured the city of Jericho when he ordered the Israelites to blow trumpets until the walls fell down. It begins: “Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,Jericho, Jericho;Joshua fit the battle of Jericho,And the walls came tumbling down.”
一种基于圣经中约书亚故事的古老非裔美国人灵修。 “Fit”代表“战斗”的一种表达方式。这首歌讲述了约书亚如何占领耶利哥城，他命令以色列人吹号，直到城墙倒塌。它的开头是：“约书亚适合耶利哥之战，耶利哥，耶利哥；约书亚适合耶利哥之战，城墙倒塌了。”
