"By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they had been compassed about for seven days." — Hebrews 11:30 (ASV)
Fell down (επεσαν). "Fell," second aorist active indicative of πιπτω with first aorist endings as often in the Koine.
After they had been compassed (κυκλωθεντα). First aorist passive participle of κυκλοω, old verb to encircle (from κυκλος, circle) as in Ac 14:20. Antecedent action here.
