6And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and saidH559 unto them, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and let sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’ hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of YhwhH3068. 7And he saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Pass onH5674, and compassH5437 the cityH5892, and let him that is armedH2502 pass onH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of YhwhH3068.
8And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 had spokenH559 unto the peopleH5971, that the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’ hornsH3104 passed onH5674 beforeH6440 YhwhH3068, and blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of YhwhH3068 followedH1980 themH310.
