Joshua 6

1Now JerichoH3405 was straitly shutH5462 up because of the children of IsraelH3478: none wentH3318 out, and none cameH935 in. 2And Jehovah saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, SeeH7200, I have givenH5414 into thy handH3027 JerichoH3405, and the kingH4428 thereof, and the mightyH1368 menH1368 of valor. 3And ye shall compass the cityH5892, all the menH376 of warH4421, going about the cityH5892 once. ThusH3541 shalt thou do sixH8337 daysH3117. 4And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 shall bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’H3104 hornsH7782 before the arkH727: and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 ye shall compass the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and the priestsH3548 shall blowH8628 the trumpetsH7782. 5And it shall beH1961, that, when they makeH8085 a long blast with the ram’sH3104 hornH7161, and when ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, all the peopleH5971 shall shoutH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH7321; and the wallH2346 of the cityH5892 shall fallH5307 downH5307 flat, and the peopleH5971 shall goH5927 up every manH376 straight before him. 6And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and saidH559 unto them, TakeH5375 up the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and let sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’H3104 hornsH7782 before the arkH727 of Jehovah. 7And they saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, PassH5674 on, and compass the cityH5892, and let the armedH2502 men passH5674 on before the arkH727 of Jehovah.

8And it wasH1961 so, that, when JoshuaH3091 had spoken unto the peopleH5971, the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’H3104 hornsH7782 before Jehovah passedH5674 on, and blew the trumpetsH7782: and the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah followed them. 9And the armedH2502 men wentH1980 before the priestsH3548 that blew the trumpetsH7782, and the rearward wentH1980 after the arkH727, the priestsH3548 blowingH8628 the trumpetsH7782 as they wentH1980. 10And JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Ye shall not shoutH7321, nor let your voiceH6963 be heardH8085, neither shall any wordH1697 proceed out of your mouthH6310, until the dayH3117 I bid you shoutH7321; then shall ye shoutH7321. 11So he caused the arkH727 of Jehovah to compass the cityH5892, goingH935 about it once: and they cameH935 into the campH4264, and lodged in the campH4264.

12And JoshuaH3091 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the priestsH3548 tookH5375 up the arkH727 of Jehovah. 13And the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’H3104 hornsH7782 before the arkH727 of Jehovah wentH1980 on continually, and blew the trumpetsH7782: and the armedH2502 men wentH1980 before them; and the rearward cameH1980 after the arkH727 of Jehovah, the priestsH3548 blowingH8628 the trumpetsH7782 as they wentH1980. 14And the secondH8145 dayH3117 they compassed the cityH5892 once, and returnedH7725 into the campH4264: so they did sixH8337 daysH3117.

15And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they roseH7925 earlyH7925 at the dawningH7837 of the dayH3117, and compassed the cityH5892 after the same manner sevenH7651 timesH6471: onlyH7535 on that dayH3117 they compassed the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471. 16And it came to pass at the seventhH7637 timeH6471, when the priestsH3548 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, ShoutH7321; for Jehovah hath givenH5414 you the cityH5892. 17And the cityH5892 shall beH1961 devoted, even it and all that is therein, to Jehovah: onlyH7535 RahabH7343 the harlot shall liveH2421, she and all that are with her in the houseH1004, because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 that we sentH7971. 18But as for you, onlyH7535 keepH8104 yourselves from the devoted thing, lestH6435 when ye have devoted it, ye takeH3947 of the devoted thing; so would ye makeH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 accursed, and troubleH5916 it. 19But all the silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of brass and ironH1270, are holyH6944 unto Jehovah: they shall comeH935 into the treasuryH214 of Jehovah. 20So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321, and the priests blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782: and it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, that the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH7321, and the wallH2346 fellH5307 downH5307 flat, so that the peopleH5971 wentH5927 up into the cityH5892, every manH376 straight before him, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892. 21And they utterly destroyed all that was in the cityH5892, both manH376 and womanH802, both youngH5288 and oldH2205, and oxH7794, and sheepH7716, and ass, with the edge of the swordH2719.

22And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the twoH8147 menH376 that had spiedH7270 out the landH776, GoH3318 into the harlot’s houseH1004, and bringH935 out thence the womanH802, and all that she hath, as ye sware unto her. 23And the youngH5288 menH5288 the spiesH7270 wentH3318 in, and broughtH935 out RahabH7343, and her fatherH1, and her motherH517, and her brethren, and all that she had; all her kindred also they broughtH935 out; and they set them without the campH4264 of IsraelH3478. 24And they burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784, and all that was therein; onlyH7535 the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627 of brass and of ironH1270, they putH5414 into the treasuryH214 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 25But RahabH7343 the harlot, and her father’sH1 householdH1004, and all that she had, did JoshuaH3091 save aliveH2421; and she dweltH3427 in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117, because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397, whom JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 to spyH7270 out JerichoH3405. 26And JoshuaH3091 charged them with an oathH7650 at that timeH6256, sayingH559, CursedH779 be the manH376 before Jehovah, that riseth up and buildeth this cityH5892 JerichoH3405: with the loss of his first-born shall he lay the foundation thereof, and with the loss of his youngestH6810 sonH6810 shall he setH6965 up the gates of it. 27So Jehovah wasH1961 with JoshuaH3091; and his fame wasH1961 in all the landH776.
