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.
9And the armed men went before the priests who were blowing the horns, and the mass of the people went after the ark, blowing their horns.
10And to the people Joshua gave an order, saying, You will give no cry, and make no sound, and let no word go out of your mouth till the day when I say, Give a loud cry; then give a loud cry.
11So he made the ark of the Lord go all round the town once: then they went back to the tents for the night.
12And early in the morning Joshua got up, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
