1 Now Jericho was closely shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
2 And the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and its king, and the mighty men of valor.
3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round the city once: thus shalt thou do six days.
4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout: and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend 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 the LORD.
7 And he said to the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.
