Now Jericho{H3405} was straitly{H5462}{(H8802)} shut up{H5462}{(H8794)} because{H6440} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}: none went out{H3318}{(H8802)}, and none came in{H935}{(H8802)}.

And the LORD{H3068} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto Joshua{H3091}, See{H7200}{(H8798)}, I have given{H5414}{(H8804)} into thine hand{H3027} Jericho{H3405}, and the king{H4428} thereof, and the mighty men{H1368} of valour{H2428}.

And ye shall compass{H5437}{(H8804)} the city{H5892}, all ye men{H582} of war{H4421}, and go round about{H5362}{(H8687)} the city{H5892} once{H6471}{H259}. Thus shalt thou do{H6213}{(H8799)} six{H8337} days{H3117}.

And seven{H7651} priests{H3548} shall bear{H5375}{(H8799)} before{H6440} the ark{H727} seven{H7651} trumpets{H7782} of rams' horns{H3104}: and the seventh{H7637} day{H3117} ye shall compass{H5437}{(H8799)} the city{H5892} seven{H7651} times{H6471}, and the priests{H3548} shall blow{H8628}{(H8799)} with the trumpets{H7782}.

And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long{H4900}{(H8800)} blast with the ram's{H3104} horn{H7161}, and when ye hear{H8085}{(H8800)} the sound{H6963} of the trumpet{H7782}, all the people{H5971} shall shout{H7321}{(H8686)} with a great{H1419} shout{H8643}; and the wall{H2346} of the city{H5892} shall fall down{H5307}{(H8804)} flat{H8478}, and the people{H5971} shall ascend up{H5927}{(H8804)} every man{H376} straight before him.

And Joshua{H3091} the son{H1121} of Nun{H5126} called{H7121}{(H8799)} the priests{H3548}, and said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Take up{H5375}{(H8798)} the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285}, and let seven{H7651} priests{H3548} bear{H5375}{(H8799)} seven{H7651} trumpets{H7782} of rams' horns{H3104} before{H6440} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068}.

And he said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the people{H5971}, Pass on{H5674}{(H8798)}, and compass{H5437}{(H8798)} the city{H5892}, and let him that is armed{H2502}{(H8803)} pass on{H5674}{(H8799)} before{H6440} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068}.

And it came to pass, when Joshua{H3091} had spoken{H559}{(H8800)} unto the people{H5971}, that the seven{H7651} priests{H3548} bearing{H5375}{(H8802)} the seven{H7651} trumpets{H7782} of rams' horns{H3104} passed on{H5674}{(H8804)} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, and blew{H8628}{(H8804)} with the trumpets{H7782}: and the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of the LORD{H3068} followed{H1980}{(H8802)} them{H310}.

And the armed{H2502}{(H8803)} men went{H1980}{(H8802)} before{H6440} the priests{H3548} that blew{H8628}{(H8802)}{(H8675)}{H8628}{(H8804)} with the trumpets{H7782}, and the rereward{H622}{(H8764)} came{H1980}{(H8802)} after{H310} the ark{H727}, the priests going on{H1980}{(H8800)}, and blowing{H8628}{(H8800)} with the trumpets{H7782}.

And Joshua{H3091} had commanded{H6680}{(H8765)} the people{H5971}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Ye shall not shout{H7321}{(H8686)}, nor make any noise{H8085}{(H8686)} with your voice{H6963}, neither shall any word{H1697} proceed{H3318}{(H8799)} out of your mouth{H6310}, until the day{H3117} I bid{H559}{(H8800)} you shout{H7321}{(H8685)}; then shall ye shout{H7321}{(H8689)}.

So the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068} compassed{H5437}{(H8686)} the city{H5892}, going about{H5362}{(H8687)} it once{H6471}{H259}: and they came{H935}{(H8799)} into the camp{H4264}, and lodged{H3885}{(H8799)} in the camp{H4264}.

And Joshua{H3091} rose early{H7925}{(H8686)} in the morning{H1242}, and the priests{H3548} took up{H5375}{(H8799)} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068}.

And seven{H7651} priests{H3548} bearing{H5375}{(H8802)} seven{H7651} trumpets{H7782} of rams' horns{H3104} before{H6440} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068} went on{H1980}{(H8802)} continually{H1980}{(H8800)}, and blew{H8628}{(H8804)} with the trumpets{H7782}: and the armed men{H2502}{(H8803)} went{H1980}{(H8802)} before{H6440} them; but the rereward{H622}{(H8764)} came{H1980}{(H8802)} after{H310} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068}, the priests going on{H1980}{(H8800)}, and blowing{H8628}{(H8800)} with the trumpets{H7782}.

And the second{H8145} day{H3117} they compassed{H5437}{(H8799)} the city{H5892} once{H6471}{H259}, and returned{H7725}{(H8799)} into the camp{H4264}: so they did{H6213}{(H8804)} six{H8337} days{H3117}.

And it came to pass on the seventh{H7637} day{H3117}, that they rose early{H7925}{(H8686)} about the dawning{H5927}{(H8800)} of the day{H7837}, and compassed{H5437}{(H8799)} the city{H5892} after the same manner{H4941} seven{H7651} times{H6471}: only on that day{H3117} they compassed{H5437}{(H8804)} the city{H5892} seven{H7651} times{H6471}.

And it came to pass at the seventh{H7637} time{H6471}, when the priests{H3548} blew{H8628}{(H8804)} with the trumpets{H7782}, Joshua{H3091} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the people{H5971}, Shout{H7321}{(H8685)}; for the LORD{H3068} hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} you the city{H5892}.

And the city{H5892} shall be accursed{H2764}, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD{H3068}: only Rahab{H7343} the harlot{H2181}{(H8802)} shall live{H2421}{(H8799)}, she and all that are with her in the house{H1004}, because she hid{H2244}{(H8689)} the messengers{H4397} that we sent{H7971}{(H8804)}.

And ye, in any wise{H7535} keep{H8104}{(H8798)} yourselves from the accursed thing{H2764}, lest ye make yourselves accursed{H2763}{(H8686)}, when ye take{H3947}{(H8804)} of the accursed thing{H2764}, and make{H7760}{(H8804)} the camp{H4264} of Israel{H3478} a curse{H2764}, and trouble{H5916}{(H8804)} it.

But all the silver{H3701}, and gold{H2091}, and vessels{H3627} of brass{H5178} and iron{H1270}, are consecrated{H6944} unto the LORD{H3068}: they shall come{H935}{(H8799)} into the treasury{H214} of the LORD{H3068}.

So the people{H5971} shouted{H7321}{(H8686)} when the priests blew{H8628}{(H8799)} with the trumpets{H7782}: and it came to pass, when the people{H5971} heard{H8085}{(H8800)} the sound{H6963} of the trumpet{H7782}, and the people{H5971} shouted{H7321}{(H8686)} with a great{H1419} shout{H8643}, that the wall{H2346} fell down flat{H5307}{(H8799)}, so that the people{H5971} went up{H5927}{(H8799)} into the city{H5892}, every man{H376} straight before him, and they took{H3920}{(H8799)} the city{H5892}.

And they utterly destroyed{H2763}{(H8686)} all that was in the city{H5892}, both man{H376} and woman{H802}, young{H5288} and old{H2205}, and ox{H7794}, and sheep{H7716}, and ass{H2543}, with the edge{H6310} of the sword{H2719}.

But Joshua{H3091} had said{H559}{(H8804)} unto the two{H8147} men{H582} that had spied out{H7270}{(H8764)} the country{H776}, Go{H935}{(H8798)} into the harlot's{H2181}{(H8802)} house{H1004}, and bring out{H3318}{(H8685)} thence the woman{H802}, and all that she hath, as ye sware{H7650}{(H8738)} unto her.

And the young men{H5288} that were spies{H7270}{(H8764)} went in{H935}{(H8799)}, and brought out{H3318}{(H8686)} Rahab{H7343}, and her father{H1}, and her mother{H517}, and her brethren{H251}, and all that she had; and they brought out{H3318}{(H8689)} all her kindred{H4940}, and left{H3240}{(H8686)} them without{H2351} the camp{H4264} of Israel{H3478}.

And they burnt{H8313}{(H8804)} the city{H5892} with fire{H784}, and all that was therein: only the silver{H3701}, and the gold{H2091}, and the vessels{H3627} of brass{H5178} and of iron{H1270}, they put{H5414}{(H8804)} into the treasury{H214} of the house{H1004} of the LORD{H3068}.

And Joshua{H3091} saved{H2421} Rahab{H7343} the harlot{H2181}{(H8802)} alive{H2421}{(H8689)}, and her father's{H1} household{H1004}, and all that she had; and she dwelleth{H3427}{(H8799)} in{H7130} Israel{H3478} even unto this day{H3117}; because she hid{H2244}{(H8689)} the messengers{H4397}, which Joshua{H3091} sent{H7971}{(H8804)} to spy out{H7270}{(H8763)} Jericho{H3405}.

And Joshua{H3091} adjured{H7650}{(H8686)} them at that time{H6256}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Cursed{H779}{(H8803)} be the man{H376} before{H6440} the LORD{H3068}, that riseth up{H6965}{(H8799)} and buildeth{H1129}{(H8804)} this city{H5892} Jericho{H3405}: he shall lay the foundation{H3245}{(H8762)} thereof in his firstborn{H1060}, and in his youngest{H6810} son shall he set up{H5324}{(H8686)} the gates{H1817} of it.

So the LORD{H3068} was with Joshua{H3091}; and his fame{H8089} was noised throughout all the country{H776}.
