Joshua 6:12-20

12Now JoshuaH3091 gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the priestsH3548 tookH5375 upH5375 the arkH727 of the LordH3068. 13Then 1the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 carryingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’H3104 hornsH3104 in frontH6440 of the arkH727 of the LordH3068 wentH1980 on continuallyH1980, and blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782; and the armedH2502 menH2502 wentH1980 aheadH6440 of them, and 2the rearH622 guardH622 cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727 of the LordH3068, while they continuedH1980 to blowH8628 the trumpetsH7782. 14So the secondH8145 dayH3117 they marchedH5437 aroundH5437 the cityH5892 onceH259H6471 and returnedH7725 to the campH4264; they didH6213 the sameH3541 for sixH8337 daysH3117.

15Then on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 they gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 at the dawningH7837H5927 ofH7837 the dayH7837 and marchedH5437 aroundH5437 the cityH5892 in the sameH2088 wayH4941 sevenH7651 timesH6471; onlyH7534 on that dayH3117 did they marchH5437 aroundH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471. 16And at the seventhH7637 timeH6471, when the priestsH3548 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, JoshuaH3091 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “3ShoutH7321! For the LordH3068 has givenH5414 you the cityH5892. 17But the cityH5892 shall be 4designatedH2764 forH2764 5destructionH2764, it and everythingH3605 that is in it belongs to the LordH3068; onlyH7534 RahabH7343 the prostituteH2181 6and 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 designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH2764, soH6435 thatH6435 you do notH6435 covetH2530 them and 7takeH3947 someH4480 of the designatedH2764 thingsH2764, and turnH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 into somethingH2764 designatedH2764 forH2764 destructionH2764 and bringH5916 disasterH5916 onH5916 it. 198But 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 9the priests blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782; and when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, and the 10wallH2346 fellH5307 downH5307 11flatH8478, so that the peopleH5971 wentH5927 upH5927 into the cityH5892, everyoneH376 straightH5048 12aheadH5048, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892.
