  • Josh 6:2-9 : 2 And the LORD said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hand Jericho, and its king, and the mighty men of valor. 3 And you shall surround the city, all you men of war, and go around the city once. You shall do this for six days. 4 And seven priests shall carry before the ark seven trumpets of ram's horns: and on the seventh day you shall surround the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him. 6 And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests carry seven trumpets of ram's horns before the ark of the LORD. 7 And he said to the people, Proceed, and surround the city, and let him who is armed go on before the ark of the LORD. 8 And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of ram's horns went before the LORD, and blew the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them. 9 And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard followed the ark, the priests going on, and blowing the trumpets. 10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, You shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout; then shall you shout. 11 So the ark of the LORD went around the city, circling it once: and they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp. 12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD. 13 And seven priests carrying seven trumpets of ram's horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing the trumpets. 14 And the second day they surrounded the city once, and returned to the camp: this they did for six days. 15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early at the dawn of the day, and surrounded the city in the same manner seven times: only on that day they surrounded the city seven times. 16 And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout; for the LORD has given you the city. 17 And the city shall be accursed, it and all that are in it, to the LORD: only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in her house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. 18 And you, by all means keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest you make yourselves accursed, when you take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. 19 But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are consecrated to the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD. 20 So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
  • Josh 8:1 : 1 And the LORD said to Joshua, Do not fear or be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land.

  • Josh 8:29-35 : 29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening; and as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his corpse down from the tree and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raise over it a great heap of stones, that remains to this day. 30 Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD God of Israel in Mount Ebal, 31 As Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of whole stones, over which no man has lifted up any iron; and they offered on it burnt offerings to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings. 32 And he wrote there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel. 33 And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side of the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against Mount Gerizim, and half of them over against Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel. 34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessings and curses, according to all that is written in the book of the law. 35 There was not a word of all that Moses commanded that Joshua did not read before all the congregation of Israel, with the women, and the little ones, and the strangers who were among them.
