And it shall come to pass, when the ram's horn soundeth, when ye hear the sound of the horn, that all the people shall shout with a great shout, - and then shall the wall of the city fall down under it, and the people shall go up, every man straight before him. Then called Joshua son of Nun unto the priests, and said unto them, Bear ye the ark of the covenant, - and let, seven priest, bear seven rams horns, before the ark of Yahweh. Then said he unto the people, Pass on and compass the city, - and let, the armed host, pass on before the ark of Yahweh. And it was so, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that, the seven priests who were bearing the seven rams' horns before Yahweh, passed on and blew with the horns, - the ark of the covenant of Yahweh also coming after them. And, the armed host, went on before the priests who blew with the horns, - and, the rear-guard, came after the ark, going on and blowing with the horns. Now, unto the people, had Joshua given command, saying - Ye shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall there go out of your mouth, a word, - until the day when I say unto you Shout! then shall ye shout. So he caused the ark of Yahweh to compass the city, going round once, - and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp. And Joshua rose early in the morning, - and the priests bare the ark of Yahweh; and, the seven priests who bare the seven rams' horns before the ark of Yahweh, went on and on, and blew with the horns, - with, the armed host going on before them, and, the rear-guard, coming after the ark of Yahweh, going on and blowing with the horns. So they compassed the city on the second day once, and returned into the camp, - thus, did they, six days. And it came to pass, on the seventh day, that they rose early at the uprisings of the dawn, and compassed the city after this manner, seven times, - only on that day they compassed the city seven times. And it came to pass, at the seventh time - when the priests blew with the horns, then did Joshua say unto the people - Shout, for Yahweh hath delivered unto you the city. And it shall be, that, as for the city, devoted, shall it be and all that is therein unto Yahweh, - nevertheless, Rahab the harlot, shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers whom we sent. But, in any wise, do, ye, beware of what is devoted, lest ye should covet, and then take of what is devoted, - and so cause the camp of Israel to be devoted, and bring trouble upon it. But, as for all silver and gold and vessels of bronze and iron, hallowed, it is to Yahweh, - unto the treasury of Yahweh, shall it come. So the people shouted, when the horns were blown, - yea it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the horn, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down under it, and the people went up into the city every man straight before him, and so they captured the city.
