Joshua 6 📜 📕 ↷
6 Josue therefore the son of Nun called the Priests, and said to them: Take up the ark of the covenant: and let seven other Priests take up the seven trumpets of the Jubilees, and march before the ark of our Lord.📜💬📚
7 To the people also he said: Go and compass the city, the armed going before the ark of our Lord.📜💬📚
8 And when Josue had ended his words, and the seven Priests sounded with seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of our Lord,📜💬📚
9 and all the armed host went before, the rest of the common people followed the ark, and all places sounded with the trumpets.📜💬📚
10 But Josue had commanded the people, saying: You shall not cry, neither shall your voice be heard, nor any word go out of your mouth, until the day come wherein I shall say to you: Cry, and shout.📜💬📚
11 Therefore the ark of our Lord went about the city once a day, & returning into the camp, abode there.📜💬📚
12 Josue therefore rising in the night, the Priests took the ark of our Lord,📜💬📚
13 and seven of them seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee: and they went before the ark of our Lord walking and sounding: and the armed people went before them, and the rest of the common people followed the ark, and they sounded with trumpets.📜💬📚
14 And they went round about the city the second day once, and returned into the camp. So did they six days.📜💬📚
15 But the seventh day, rising up early they went about the city, as it was ordained, seven times.📜💬📚
16 And when in the seventh going about, the priests sounded with the trumpets, Josue said to all Israel: Make a shout, for our Lord hath delivered to you the city:📜💬📚
17 and let this city be anathema: and all things that are in it, to our Lord. Only Rahab the harlot let her live, with all that be with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom we sent.📜💬📚
18 But you, beware you touch not ought of those things, that are commanded, and be guilty of prevarication, and all the camp of Israel be under sin, and be troubled.📜💬📚
19 But whatsoever gold or silver there shall be, and of brazen vessels and iron, let it be consecrated to our Lord, laid up in his treasures.📜💬📚
20 Therefore all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, after that the voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith fell: and every man went up by the place that was against him, and they took the city,📜💬📚
