1 Now Jericho was shut up and was barred, because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.

2 And Jehovah said to Joshua, See, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, {and} the valiant men.

3 And ye shall go round the city, all the men of war, encompassing the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

4 And seven priests shall carry before the ark seven blast-trumpets; and on the seventh day ye shall go round the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

5 And it shall come to pass when they make a long blast with the blast-horn, that all the people on hearing the sound of the trumpet shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall flat, and the people shall go up, each one straight before him.

6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Carry the ark of the covenant, and seven priests shall carry seven blast-trumpets before the ark of Jehovah.

7 And he said to the people, Pass on, go round the city, and they that are armed shall pass on before the ark of Jehovah.
