  • Josh 6:1-9 : 1 Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. 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. 22 But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the land, Go into the prostitute's house, and bring out from there the woman, and all that she has, as you swore to her. 23 And the young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brothers, and all that she had; and they brought out all her relatives, and left them outside the camp of Israel. 24 And they burned the city with fire, and all that was in it: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD. 25 And Joshua saved Rahab the prostitute alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwells in Israel even to this day; because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. 26 And Joshua swore an oath at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the LORD, who rises up and builds this city Jericho: he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest son he shall set up its gates. 27 So the LORD was with Joshua; and his fame spread throughout all the country.

And they brought it to him. 21 And he went forth to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus says the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from here any more death or barren land. 22 So the waters were healed to this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spoke.
