In Jewish tradition
People shout in joy, in battle and in worship. Psalms call all the earth to shout to God, and at Jericho the people shouted and the walls fell.
Interpretation. The tradition reads shouting as joyful praise of God, linked to the teruah, the trumpet blast. It sees the shout at Jericho as the people's faith in God's help.
