2And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war.
3Now let all your fighting-men make a circle round the town, going all round it once. Do this for six days.
4And let seven priests go before the ark with seven loud-sounding horns in their hands: on the seventh day you are to go round the town seven times, the priests blowing their horns.
5And at the sound of a long note on the horns, let all the people give a loud cry; and the wall of the town will come down flat, and all the people are to go straight forward.
6Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent for the priests and said to them, Take up the ark of the agreement, and let seven priests take seven horns in their hands and go before the ark of the Lord.
7And he said to the people, Go forward, circling the town, and let the armed men go before the ark of the Lord.
8So after Joshua had said this to the people, the seven priests with their seven horns went forward before the Lord, blowing on their horns: and the ark of the Lord's agreement went after them.
