1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the sons of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2 And Yahweh said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hand Jericho and its king, mighty men of valor.
3 And you{} will circle the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus you will do six days.
4 And seven priests will bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark: and the seventh day you{} will circle the city seven times, and the priests will blow the trumpets.
5 And it will be, that, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you{} hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people will shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight before him.
6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Yahweh.
7 And they said to the people, Pass on, and circle the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Yahweh.
