Joshua 6:6-17

⁶And Joshua the son of Naue went in to the priests, and spoke to them, saying,

⁷And let seven priests having seven sacred trumpets proceed thus before the Lord, and let them sound loudly; and let the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow.

⁸Charge the people to go round, and encompass the city; and let your men of war pass on armed before the Lord.

⁹And let the men of war proceed before, and the priests bringing up the rear behind the ark of the covenant of the Lord proceed sounding the trumpets.

¹⁰And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Cry not out, nor let any one hear your voice, until he himself declare to you the time to cry out, and then you° shall cry out.

¹¹And the ark of the covenant of God having gone round immediately returned into the camp, and lodged there.

¹²And on the second day Joshua rose up in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the covenant of the Lord.

¹³And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets went on before the Lord; and afterwards the men of war went on, and the remainder of the multitude went after the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

¹⁴And all the rest of the multitude compassed the city six times from within a short distance, and went back again into the camp; this they did six days.

¹⁵And on the seventh day they rose up early, and compassed the city on that day seven times.

¹⁶And it came to pass at the seventh circuit the priests blew the trumpets; and Joshua said to the children of Israel, Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.

¹⁷And the city shall be devoted, it and all things that are in it, to the Lord of Hosts: only do you° save Raab the harlot, and all things in her house.
