6. Then Josue the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them: Take the ark of the covenant: and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and march before the ark of the Lord.
7. And he said to the people: Go, and compass the city, armed, marching before the ark of the Lord.
8. And when Josue had ended his words, and the seven priests blew the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,
9. And all the armed men went before, the rest of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets was heard on all sides.
10. But Josue had commanded the people, saying: You shall not shout, nor 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. So the ark of the Lord went about the city once a day, and returning into the camp, abode there.
12. And Josue rising before day, the priests took the ark of the Lord,
13. And seven of them seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee: and they went before the ark of the Lord walking and sounding the trumpets: and the armed men went before them, and the rest of the common people followed the ark, and they blew the trumpets.
14. And they went round about the city the second day once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
15. But the seventh day, rising up early, they went about the city, as it was ordered, seven times.
16. And when in the seventh going about the priests sounded with the trumpets, Josue said to all Israel: Shout: for the Lord hath delivered the city to you:
17. And let this city be an anathema, and all things that are in it, to the Lord. Let only Rahab the harlot live, with all that are with her in the house: for she hid the messengers whom we sent.
