Joshua 6:15-20

15Then on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 they roseH7925 earlyH7925 at the dawningH7837 of the dayH7837 and marchedH5437 aroundH5437 the cityH5892 in the sameH2088 mannerH4941 sevenH7651 timesH6471; onlyH7534 on that dayH3117 they marchedH5437 aroundH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471.

16At the seventhH7637 timeH6471, when the priestsH3548 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “1ShoutH7321! For the LordH3068 has givenH5414 you the cityH5892.

17The cityH5892 shall be 2underH2764 the banH2764, it and allH3605 that is in it belongs to the LordH3068; onlyH7534 RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 3and allH3605 whoH834 are with her in the houseH1004 shall liveH2421, becauseH3588 she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 whomH834 we sentH7971.

18But as for you, onlyH7534 keepH8104 yourselves from the thingsH2764 underH2764 the banH2764, soH6435 that you do not 4covetH2763 them and 5takeH3947 someH4480 of the thingsH2764 underH2764 the banH2764, and makeH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 accursedH2764 and bringH5916 troubleH5916 on it.

196But allH3605 the silverH3701 and goldH2091 and articlesH3627 of bronzeH5178 and ironH1270 are holyH6944 to the LordH3068; they shall goH935 into the treasuryH214 of the LordH3068.”

20So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321, and 7priests blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782; and when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643 and the 8wallH2346 fellH5307 downH5307 9flatH8478, so that the peopleH5971 wentH5927 up into the cityH5892, everyH376 manH376 straightH5048 10aheadH5048, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892.
