Place of fragrance, a fenced city in the midst of a vast grove of palm trees, in the plain of Jordan, over against the place where that river was crossed by the Israelites opposite of Jericho. (Josh.3:16) Cities of the plains ('kikkar') have same characteristic and it is to which Prophet Isaiah refers,- and the question concerns God's judgment on godless nations. The cities of the plains form a circle as in this verse: "And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where," (Ge.13:10) These are Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim and Zoar. Apart from the significance of five (See under N-numbers command /Jubilee) this circle is enclosed as Jericho was a fenced city. Joshua and his men circling the city seven times signifies God's judgment as fell on Sodom and Gomorrah would fall on her.
So Isaiah asks, "Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?/It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:/That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth as vanity.." (Is.40:21-23). (See entry below: Jerusalem)
"In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the Lord, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun." (1 Ki.16:34)
