3. Therefore, ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, going round about the city once; and thou shalt do this six days.
4. And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven shofarot {or rams horns} of jubilee; and the seventh day ye shall go around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the shofarot.
5. And when they make a long sound of jubilee with the horn so that ye hear the voice of the shofar, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat; then the people shall ascend up each man straight before him.
6. And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant and let seven priests bear seven shofarot of jubilee before the ark of the Lord.
7. And he said unto the people, Pass on and compass the city and let those that are armed pass on before the ark of the Lord.
8. And when Joshua had spoken unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven shofarot of jubilee passed on before the Lord and blew with the shofarot; and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them.
9. And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the shofarot, and the congregation came after the ark, the priests going on and blowing with the shofarot.
10. And Joshua 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 tell you, Shout; then ye shall 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 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.
