6. And Yehoshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven rams’ horns before the ark of יהוה.”
7. And he said to the people, “Pass over, and go around the city, and let him who is armed pass over before the ark of יהוה.”
8. And it came to be, when Yehoshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven rams’ horns before יהוה passed over and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of יהוה went after them.
9. And the armed men went before the priests who blew the horns, and the rear guard came after the ark, going on and blowing the horns.
10. But Yehoshua had commanded the people, saying, “Do not shout or cause your voice to be heard, nor let any word come out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then you shall shout.”
11. And the ark of יהוה went around the city, going around once. And they came into the camp and stayed in the camp.
12. And Yehoshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of יהוה.
13. And seven priests bearing seven rams’ horns before the ark of יהוה were walking, going on, and they blew the horns, and the armed men went before them. But the rear guard came after the ark of יהוה, going on, and blowing the horns.
14. And the second day they went around the city once and returned to the camp. Thus they did six days.
