1. (NOW Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.)
2. And the Lord said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
3. And ye shall compass the city, all the men of war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
4. And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
