Joshua 6:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 6:13

11 So he had ^athe ark of the Lord circle the city, going around it once. Then they came into the camp and¹ lodged in the camp.

12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, ^aand the priests took up the ark of the Lord.

13 Then seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually and blew with the trumpets. And the armed men went before them. But the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets.

14 And the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. So they did six days.

15 But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times.

16 And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city!

17 Now the city shall be ^adoomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only ^bRahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because ^cshe hid the messengers that we sent.
