Joshua 6:9-19

6:9 Armed troops marched ahead of the priests blowing the horns, while the rear guard followed along behind the ark blowing rams’ horns. 6:10 Now Joshua had instructed the army, ³  “Do not give a battle cry ⁴  or raise your voices; say nothing ⁵  until the day I tell you, ‘Give the battle cry.’ ⁶  Then give the battle cry!” ⁷  6:11 So Joshua made sure they marched the ark of the Lord around the city one time. ⁸  Then they went back to the camp and spent the night there. ⁹ 

6:12 Bright and early the next morning Joshua had the priests pick up the ark of the Lord. ¹⁰  6:13 The seven priests carrying the seven rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord marched along blowing their horns. Armed troops marched ahead of them, while the rear guard followed along behind the ark of the Lord blowing rams’ horns. 6:14 They marched around the city one time on the second day, then returned to the camp. They did this six days in all.

6:15 On the seventh day they were up at the crack of dawn ¹¹  and marched around the city as before – only this time they marched around it seven times. ¹²  6:16 The seventh time around, the priests blew the rams’ horns and Joshua told the army, ¹³  “Give the battle cry, ¹⁴  for the Lord is handing the city over to you! ¹⁵  6:17 The city and all that is in it must be set apart for the Lord, ¹⁶  except for Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house, because she hid the spies ¹⁷  we sent. 6:18 But be careful when you are setting apart the riches for the Lord. If you take any of it, you will make the Israelite camp subject to annihilation and cause a disaster. ¹⁸  6:19 All the silver and gold, as well as bronze and iron items, belong to the Lord. ¹⁹  They must go into the Lord’s treasury.”
