Joshua 6:2

Joshua 6:2

The Destruction of Jericho

1 Now ^aJericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in.

2 And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! ^aI have given Jericho into your hand, its ^bking, and the mighty men of valor.

3 You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days.

4 And seven priests shall bear seven ^atrumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city ^bseven times, and ^cthe priests shall blow the trumpets.

5 It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”

<< Joshua 6:1

Joshua 6:3 >>

See, I have given into thine hand Jericho—The language intimates that a purpose already formed was about to be carried into immediate execution; and that, although the king and inhabitants of Jericho were fierce and experienced warriors, who would make a stout and determined resistance, the Lord promised a certain and easy victory over them.
