Joshua 6:4-13
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.
