Joshua 6:4-20

4And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 shall bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’H3104 hornsH7782 beforeH6440 the arkH727: and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 ye shall compass the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and the priestsH3548 shall blowH8628 with the trumpetsH7782.

5And it shall be, that when they makeH8085 a longH4900 blastH4900 with the ram’sH3104 hornH7161, and when ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, allH3605 the peopleH5971 shall shoutH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH7321; and the wallH2346 of the cityH5892 shall fallH5307 downH5307 flatH8478, and the peopleH5971 shall goH5927 upH5927 everyH3605 manH376 straightH5048 beforeH5048 him.

6And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and saidH559 unto them, TakeH5375 upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and let sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’H3104 hornsH7782 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.

7And they saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, PassH5674 on, and compass the cityH5892, and let the armedH2502 menH5971 passH5674 on beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.

8And it was soH1980, that when JoshuaH3091 had spokenH559 unto the peopleH5971, the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’H3104 hornsH7782 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 passedH5674 on, and blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 followedH310 them.

9And the armedH2502 menH1980 wentH1980 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 that blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and the rearward wentH1980 afterH310 the arkH727, the priestsH3548 blowingH8628 with the trumpetsH7782 as they wentH1980.

10And JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Ye shall notH3808 shoutH7321, norH3808 letH3808 your voiceH6963 be heardH8085, neitherH3808 shall anyH3318 wordH1697 proceedH3318 outH3318 of your mouthH6310, untilH5704 the dayH3117 I bid youH6680 shoutH7321; then shall ye shoutH7321.

11SoH935 he caused the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 to compass the cityH5892, goingH935 aboutH5437 it onceH259: and they cameH935 intoH935 the campH4264, and lodged in the campH4264.

12And JoshuaH3091 roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the priestsH3548 tookH5375 upH5375 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.

13And the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams’H3104 hornsH7782 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 wentH1980 on continuallyH1980, and blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782; and the armedH2502 menH1980 wentH1980 beforeH6440 them; and the rearward cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the priestsH3548 blowingH8628 with the trumpetsH7782 as they wentH1980.

14And the secondH8145 dayH3117 they compassed the cityH5892 onceH259, and returnedH7725 intoH7725 the campH4264: soH6213 they didH6213 sixH8337 daysH3117.

15And it cameH1961 to passH1961 on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they roseH7925 earlyH7925 at the dawningH7837 of the dayH3117, and compassed the cityH5892 afterH1961 the sameH1931 mannerH4941 sevenH7651 timesH6471: onlyH7535 on that dayH3117 they compassed the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471.

16And it cameH1961 to passH1961 at the seventhH7637 time, when the priestsH3548 blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782, JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, ShoutH7321; for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 youH3588 the cityH5892.

17And the cityH5892 shall be devotedH2764, evenH3588 it and allH3605 that is therein, to the LORDH3068: onlyH7535 RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 shall liveH2421, sheH1931 and allH3605 that are with herH3605 in the houseH1004, becauseH3588 sheH1931 hidH2244 the messengersH4397 that weH3588 sentH7971.

18And ye, in anyH4480 wise keepH8104 yourselves from the devotedH2764 thing, lestH6435 when ye have devotedH2764 it, ye takeH3947 of the devotedH2764 thing; soH4480 should ye makeH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 accursed, and troubleH5916 it.

19But allH3605 the silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and ironH1270, are holyH6944 unto the LORDH3068: they shall comeH935 intoH935 the treasuryH214 of the LORDH3068.

20SoH1961 the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321, and the priests blewH8628 with the trumpetsH7782: and it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, that the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH7321, and the wallH2346 fellH5307 downH5307 flatH8478, soH1961 that the peopleH5971 wentH5927 upH5927 intoH376 the cityH5892, everyH376 manH376 straightH5048 beforeH5048 him, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892.
