Now JerichoH3405 was straitlyH5462 shut upH5462 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: none went outH3318, and none came inH935. And JehovahH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, SeeH7200, I have givenH5414 into thy handH3027 JerichoH3405, and the kingH4428 thereof, and the mighty menH1368 of valorH2428. And ye shall compassH5437 the cityH5892, all the menH582 of warH4421, going aboutH5362 the cityH5892 onceH6471. Thus shalt thou doH6213 sixH8337 daysH3117. And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 shall bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727: and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 ye shall compassH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and the priestsH3548 shall blowH8628 the trumpetsH7782. And it shall be, that, when they make a longH4900 blast with the ram'sH3104 hornH7161, and when ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, all the peopleH5971 shall shoutH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH7321; and the wallH2346 of the cityH5892 shall fall downH5307 flatH8478, and the peopleH5971 shall go upH5927 every manH376 straight before him. And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 calledH7121 the priestsH3548, and saidH559 unto them, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and let sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of JehovahH3068. And they saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, Pass onH5674, and compassH5437 the cityH5892, and let the armedH2502 men pass onH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of JehovahH3068. And it was so, that, when JoshuaH3091 had spokenH559 unto the peopleH5971, the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 JehovahH3068 passed onH5674, and blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782: and the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of JehovahH3068 followedH1980 themH310. And the armedH2502 men wentH1980 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 that blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, and the rearwardH622 wentH1980 afterH310 the arkH727, the priests blowingH8628 the trumpetsH7782 as they wentH1980. And JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 the peopleH5971, sayingH559, Ye shall not shoutH7321, nor let your voiceH6963 be heardH8085, neither shall any wordH1697 proceedH3318 out of your mouthH6310, until the dayH3117 I bidH559 you shoutH7321; then shall ye shoutH7321. So he caused the arkH727 of JehovahH3068 to compassH5437 the cityH5892, going aboutH5362 it onceH6471: and they cameH935 into the campH4264, and lodgedH3885 in the campH4264. And JoshuaH3091 rose earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and the priestsH3548 took upH5375 the arkH727 of JehovahH3068. And the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of JehovahH3068 went onH1980 continuallyH1980, and blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782: and the armed menH2502 wentH1980 beforeH6440 them; and the rearwardH622 cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727 of JehovahH3068, the priests blowingH8628 the trumpetsH7782 as they wentH1980. And the secondH8145 dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 onceH6471, and returnedH7725 into the campH4264: so they didH6213 sixH8337 daysH3117. And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they rose earlyH7925 at the dawningH5927 of the dayH7837, and compassedH5437 the cityH5892 after the same mannerH4941 sevenH7651 timesH6471: only on that dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471. And it came to pass at the seventhH7637 timeH6471, when the priestsH3548 blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782, JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, ShoutH7321; for JehovahH3068 hath givenH5414 you the cityH5892. And the cityH5892 shall be devotedH2764, even it and all that is therein, to JehovahH3068: only RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 shall liveH2421, she and all that are with her in the houseH1004, because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 that we sentH7971. But as for you, onlyH7535 keepH8104 yourselves from the devoted thingH2764, lest when ye have devotedH2763 it, ye takeH3947 of the devoted thingH2764; so would ye makeH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 accursedH2764, and troubleH5916 it. But all the silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and ironH1270, are holyH6944 unto JehovahH3068: they shall comeH935 into the treasuryH214 of JehovahH3068. So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321, and the priests blewH8628 the trumpetsH7782; and it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, that the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, and the wallH2346 fell down flatH5307, so that the peopleH5971 went upH5927 into the cityH5892, every manH376 straight before him, and they tookH3920 the cityH5892. And they utterly destroyedH2763 all that was in the cityH5892, both manH376 and womanH802, both youngH5288 and oldH2205, and oxH7794, and sheepH7716, and assH2543, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the twoH8147 menH582 that had spied outH7270 the landH776, GoH935 into the harlot'sH2181 houseH1004, and bring outH3318 thence the womanH802, and all that she hath, as ye swareH7650 unto her. And the young menH5288 the spiesH7270 went inH935, and brought outH3318 RahabH7343, and her fatherH1, and her motherH517, and her brethrenH251, and all that she had; all her kindredH4940 also they brought outH3318; and they setH3240 them withoutH2351 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478. And they burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fireH784, and all that was therein; only the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and of ironH1270, they putH5414 into the treasuryH214 of the houseH1004 of JehovahH3068. But RahabH7343 the harlotH2181, and her father'sH1 householdH1004, and all that she had, did JoshuaH3091 saveH2421 aliveH2421; and she dweltH3427 inH7130 the midst of IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117, because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397, whom JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 to spy outH7270 JerichoH3405. And JoshuaH3091 chargedH7650 them with an oath at that timeH6256, sayingH559, CursedH779 be the manH376 beforeH6440 JehovahH3068, that riseth upH6965 and buildethH1129 this cityH5892 JerichoH3405: with the loss of his first-bornH1060 shall he lay the foundationH3245 thereof, and with the loss of his youngestH6810 son shall he set upH5324 the gatesH1817 of it. So JehovahH3068 was with JoshuaH3091; and his fameH8089 was in all the landH776.
