Joshua 6:9-15

Joshua 6:9-15

[9] And the armed  men went  before  the priests  that blew  with the trumpets,  and the rereward  came  after  the ark,  the priests going on,  and blowing  with the trumpets.  [10] And Joshua  had commanded  the people,  saying,  Ye shall not shout,  nor make any noise  with your voice,  neither shall any word  proceed  out of your mouth,  until the day  I bid  you shout;  [11] So the ark  of the LORD  compassed  the city,  going about  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 the LORD.  [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.
