6Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams` horns before the ark of Yahweh.
7They said to the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Yahweh.
8It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams` horns before Yahweh passed on, and blew the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed them.
9The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rearward went after the ark, [the priests] blowing the trumpets as they went.
10Joshua commanded the people, saying, You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall you shout.
11So he caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
12Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Yahweh.
