Joshua 6:13-20

Joshua 6:13-20

[13] And seven  priests  bearing  seven  trumpets  of rams' horns  before  the ark  of the LORD  went on  and blew  with the trumpets:  and the armed men  went  before  them; but the rereward  came  after  the ark  of the LORD,  the priests going on,  and blowing  with the trumpets.  [14] And the second  day  they compassed  the city  once,  and returned  into the camp:  so they did  six  days.  [15] And it came to pass on the seventh  day,  that they rose early  of the day,  and compassed  the city  after the same manner  seven  times:  only on that day  they compassed  the city  seven  times.  [16] And it came to pass at the seventh  time,  when the priests  blew  with the trumpets,  Joshua  said  unto the people,  Shout;  for the LORD  hath given  you the city.  [17] And the city  shall be accursed,  even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD:  only Rahab  the harlot  shall live,  she and all that are with her in the house,  because she hid  the messengers  that we sent.  [18] And ye, in any wise  keep  yourselves from the accursed thing,  lest ye make yourselves accursed,  when ye take  of the accursed thing,  and make  the camp  of Israel  a curse,  and trouble  [19] But all the silver,  and gold,  and vessels  of brass  and iron,  are consecrated  unto the LORD:  they shall come  into the treasury  of the LORD.  [20] So the people  shouted  when the priests blew  with the trumpets:  and it came to pass, when the people  heard  the sound  of the trumpet,  and the people  shouted  with a great  shout,  that the wall  fell down flat,  so that the people  went up  into the city,  every man  straight before him, and they took  the city.
