  • Josh 6:2-9 : 2 Then the LORD said to Joshua, 'See, I have delivered Jericho, its king, and its mighty warriors into your hands.' 3 You and all the fighting men are to march around the city once. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry seven ram’s horn trumpets in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, and the priests are to blow the trumpets. 5 When you hear the sound of a long blast from the ram’s horn, have all the people give a loud shout. Then the wall of the city will collapse, and the people will go up—each straight ahead. 6 So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and said to them, 'Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and have seven priests carry seven trumpets before it.' 7 And he commanded the people, 'Advance and march around the city, with the armed men going ahead of the ark of the LORD.' 8 After Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the LORD went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the Ark of the Covenant of the LORD followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark, all while the trumpets were sounding. 10 But Joshua had commanded the people, 'Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, and do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!' 11 So he had the Ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. Then the people returned to camp and spent the night there. 12 Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests carried the Ark of the LORD. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven ram's horn trumpets marched ahead of the Ark of the LORD, blowing the trumpets as they went. The armed guard went before them, and the rear guard followed behind the Ark of the LORD, all while the trumpets sounded continuously. 14 On the second day, they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did the same for six days. 15 On the seventh day, they rose early, at dawn, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day alone, they circled the city seven times. 16 On the seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua said to the people, 'Shout! For the LORD has given you the city!' 17 The city and all within it shall be devoted to the LORD for destruction. Only Rahab the prostitute and those with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers we sent. 18 But you must keep yourselves from taking any of the things devoted to destruction; otherwise, you will bring destruction upon the camp of Israel and trouble it. 19 All the silver, gold, bronze, and iron are holy to the LORD and must go into His treasury. 20 When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted. At the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a great shout, the wall collapsed. Each person charged straight in, and they captured the city. 21 They devoted to destruction everything in the city—men and women, young and old, as well as oxen, sheep, and donkeys—by the edge of the sword.
  • Josh 8:1 : 1 The Lord said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid or dismayed. Take all the fighting men with you and go up to Ai. See, I have delivered into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land."
  • Josh 8:17 : 17 Not a man remained in Ai or Bethel who did not go out after Israel. They left the city unguarded and pursued Israel.
  • Josh 8:29-35 : 29 He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening. At sunset, Joshua gave the command, and they took his body down from the tree, threw it at the entrance of the city gate, and piled over it a large heap of stones, which remains to this day. 30 Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal. 31 He built it according to what Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded the Israelites, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses—an altar of uncut stones on which no iron tool had been used. On it they offered burnt offerings to the Lord and sacrificed peace offerings. 32 There, in the presence of the Israelites, Joshua wrote on the stones a copy of the law of Moses. 33 All Israel, along with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark of the covenant of the Lord, facing the Levitical priests who were carrying it. Both the sojourner and the native-born were present. Half of the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and the other half stood in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had commanded earlier, to bless the people of Israel. 34 Afterward, Joshua read aloud all the words of the law—the blessings and the curses—just as it is written in the Book of the Law. 35 Not a single word of all that Moses had commanded was omitted; Joshua read it all to the entire assembly of Israel, including the women, the children, and the foreigners living among them.
