Joshua 6:1-13 Now Jericho was shut up tight because of the sons of Israel. None went out, and none came in.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now Jericho was shut up tight because of the sons of Israel. None went out, and none came in. ² And LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given Jericho into thy hand, and the king of it, and the mighty men of valor. ³ And ye shall encompass the city, all the men of war, going around the city once. Thus shall thou do six days. ⁴ And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. And the seventh day ye shall encompass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. ⁵ And it shall be, that, when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout. And the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him. ⁶ And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of LORD. ⁷ And they said to the people, Pass on, and encompass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of LORD. ⁸ And it was so, that, when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before LORD passed on, and blew the trumpets. And the ark of the covenant of LORD followed them. ⁹ And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rearward went behind the ark, the priests blowing the trumpets as they went. ¹⁰ And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I bid you shout. Then ye shall shout. ¹¹ So he caused the ark of LORD to encompass the city, going around it once. And they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. ¹² And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of LORD. ¹³ And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of LORD went on continually, and blew the trumpets. And the armed men went before them, and the rearward came behind the ark of LORD, the priests blowing the trumpets as they went.
