So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them.

Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.

Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and, moving on from Shittim, he and all the children of Israel came to Jordan and were there for the night before going over.

So he made the ark of the Lord go all round the town once: then they went back to the tents for the night.

So all the people were in their places, the army on the north side of the town and the secret force on the west; and that night Joshua went down into the valley.
