Context of Joshua 6:12

10Joshua ordered the troops, “Don’t shout, make any noise, or let one word come out of your mouth until I tell you to shout. Then shout!” 11So the Lord’s ark went around the city once. Then they went back to the camp and stayed there for the night. Joshua got up early in the morning. The priests carried the Lord’s ark. 13The seven priests carrying the seven rams’ horns were ahead of it. The priests blew their horns as they went. The armed men were ahead of them, and the rear guard followed the Lord’s ark while the horns blew continually. 14They went around the city once on the second day and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.

Commentaries on Joshua 6:12

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-16Verses 6-16 Wherever the ark went, the people attended it.
