Joshua 6:11-21 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

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 the seven priests bearing the seven shofarot of jubilee before the ark of the Lord walked continually, and blew with the shofarot; and the armed men went before them; but the congregation came after the ark of the Lord, the priests going on and blowing with the shofarot.

14. Likewise the second day they compassed the city once and returned into the camp; so they did for six days.

15. And on the seventh day they rose early about the dawning 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 when the priests had blown the shofarot the seventh time, Joshua said unto the people, Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.

17. And the city shall be anathema unto the Lord, even it, and all the things that are in it; 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. But keep yourselves from the anathema, that ye not touch nor take any thing of the anathema so that ye not make the camp of Israel anathema and trouble it.

19. For 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. Then the people shouted when the priests blew with the shofarot, and it came to pass when the people heard the voice of the shofar, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, each man straight before him and they took the city.

21. And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox and sheep and ass, with the edge of the sword.
