7. He said to the people, Go on! March around the enclosure, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the Lord.
8. When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the Lord and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them.
9. The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, the priests blowing the trumpets as they went.
10. But Joshua commanded the people, You shall not shout or let your voice be heard, nor shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout!
11. So he caused the ark of the Lord to go around the city once; and they came into the camp and lodged in the camp.
12. Joshua rose early in the morning and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.
13. And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord passed on, blowing the trumpets continually; and the armed men went before them and the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, the priests blowing the trumpets as they went.
14. On the second day they compassed the city enclosure once and returned to the camp. So they did for six days.
15. On the seventh day they rose early at daybreak and marched around the city as usual, only on that day they compassed the city seven times.
16. And the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, Shout! For the Lord has given you the city.
