[1]Now JerichoH3405 was straitlyH5462[H8802] shut upH5462[H8794] becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: none went outH3318[H8802], and none came inH935.[H8802]
[2]And the LORDH3068 saidH559[H8799] unto JoshuaH3091, SeeH7200[H8798], I have givenH5414[H8804] into thine handH3027 JerichoH3405, and the kingH4428 thereof, and the mighty menH1368 of valourH2428.
[3]And ye shall compassH5437[H8804] the cityH5892, all ye menH582 of warH4421, and go round aboutH5362[H8687] the cityH5892 onceH6471[H259]. Thus shalt thou doH6213[H8799] sixH8337 daysH3117.
[4]And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 shall bearH5375[H8799] beforeH6440 the arkH727 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104: and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 ye shall compassH5437[H8799] the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and the priestsH3548 shall blowH8628[H8799] with the trumpetsH7782.
[5]And it shall come to pass, that when they make a longH4900[H8800] blast with the ram'sH3104 hornH7161, and when ye hearH8085[H8800] the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, all the peopleH5971 shall shoutH7321[H8686] with a greatH1419 shoutH8643; and the wallH2346 of the cityH5892 shall fall downH5307[H8804] flatH8478, and the peopleH5971 shall ascend upH5927[H8804] every man straight before himH376.
[6]And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 calledH7121[H8799] the priestsH3548, and saidH559[H8799] unto them, Take upH5375[H8798] the arkH727 of the covenantH1285, and let sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearH5375[H8799] sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
[7]And he saidH559[H8799] unto the peopleH5971, Pass onH5674[H8798], and compassH5437[H8798] the cityH5892, and let him that is armedH2502[H8803] pass onH5674[H8799] beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
[8]And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 had spokenH559[H8800] unto the peopleH5971, that the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375[H8802] the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 passed onH5674[H8804] beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, and blewH8628[H8804] with the trumpetsH7782: and the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 followedH1980[H8802] themH310.
[9]And the armedH2502[H8803] men wentH1980[H8802] beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 that blewH8628[H8802][H8675][H8628][H8804] with the trumpetsH7782, and the rerewardH622[H8764] cameH1980[H8802] afterH310 the arkH727, the priests going onH1980[H8800], and blowingH8628[H8800] with the trumpetsH7782.
[10]And JoshuaH3091 had commandedH6680[H8765] the peopleH5971, sayingH559[H8800], Ye shall not shoutH7321[H8686], nor make any noiseH8085[H8686] with your voiceH6963, neither shall any wordH1697 proceedH3318[H8799] out of your mouthH6310, until the dayH3117 I bidH559[H8800] you shoutH7321[H8685]; then shall ye shoutH7321.[H8689]
[11]So the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 compassedH5437[H8686] the cityH5892, going aboutH5362[H8687] it onceH6471[H259]: and they cameH935[H8799] into the campH4264, and lodgedH3885[H8799] in the campH4264.
[12]And JoshuaH3091 rose earlyH7925[H8686] in the morningH1242, and the priestsH3548 took upH5375[H8799] the arkH727 of the LORDH3068.
[13]And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375[H8802] sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068 went onH1980[H8802] continuallyH1980[H8800], and blewH8628[H8804] with the trumpetsH7782: and the armed menH2502[H8803] wentH1980[H8802] beforeH6440 them; but the rerewardH622[H8764] cameH1980[H8802] afterH310 the arkH727 of the LORDH3068, the priests going onH1980[H8800], and blowingH8628[H8800] with the trumpetsH7782.
[14]And the secondH8145 dayH3117 they compassedH5437[H8799] the cityH5892 onceH6471[H259], and returnedH7725[H8799] into the campH4264: so they didH6213[H8804] sixH8337 daysH3117.
[15]And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 dayH3117, that they rose earlyH7925[H8686] about the dawningH5927[H8800] of the dayH7837, and compassedH5437[H8799] the cityH5892 after the same mannerH4941 sevenH7651 timesH6471: only on that dayH3117 they compassedH5437[H8804] the cityH5892 sevenH7651 timesH6471.
[16]And it came to pass at the seventhH7637 timeH6471, when the priestsH3548 blewH8628[H8804] with the trumpetsH7782, JoshuaH3091 saidH559[H8799] unto the peopleH5971, ShoutH7321[H8685]; for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414[H8804] you the cityH5892.
[17]And the cityH5892 shall be accursedH2764, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORDH3068: only RahabH7343 the harlotH2181[H8802] shall liveH2421[H8799], she and all that are with her in the houseH1004, because she hidH2244[H8689] the messengersH4397 that we sentH7971.[H8804]
[18]And ye, in any wiseH7535 keepH8104[H8798] yourselves from the accursed thingH2764, lest ye make yourselves accursedH2763[H8686], when ye takeH3947[H8804] of the accursed thingH2764, and makeH7760[H8804] the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 a curseH2764, and troubleH5916 itH8804.
[19]But all the silverH3701, and goldH2091, and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and ironH1270, are consecratedH6944 unto the LORDH3068: they shall comeH935[H8799] into the treasuryH214 of the LORDH3068.
[20]So the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321[H8686] when the priests blewH8628[H8799] with the trumpetsH7782: and it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085[H8800] the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, and the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321[H8686] with a greatH1419 shoutH8643, that the wallH2346 fell down flatH5307[H8799], so that the peopleH5971 went upH5927[H8799] into the cityH5892, every manH376 straight before him, and they tookH3920[H8799] the cityH5892.
[21]And they utterly destroyedH2763[H8686] all that was in the cityH5892, both manH376 and womanH802, youngH5288 and oldH2205, and oxH7794, and sheepH7716, and assH2543, with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719.
[22]But JoshuaH3091 had saidH559[H8804] unto the twoH8147 menH582 that had spied outH7270[H8764] the countryH776, GoH935[H8798] into the harlot'sH2181[H8802] houseH1004, and bring outH3318[H8685] thence the womanH802, and all that she hath, as ye swareH7650 unto herH8738.
[23]And the young menH5288 that were spiesH7270[H8764] went inH935[H8799], and brought outH3318[H8686] RahabH7343, and her fatherH1, and her motherH517, and her brethrenH251, and all that she had; and they brought outH3318[H8689] all her kindredH4940, and leftH3240[H8686] them withoutH2351 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478.
[24]And they burntH8313[H8804] the cityH5892 with fireH784, and all that was therein: only the silverH3701, and the goldH2091, and the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and of ironH1270, they putH5414[H8804] into the treasuryH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
[25]And JoshuaH3091 savedH2421 RahabH7343 the harlotH2181[H8802] aliveH2421[H8689], and her father'sH1 householdH1004, and all that she had; and she dwellethH3427[H8799] inH7130 IsraelH3478 even unto this dayH3117; because she hidH2244[H8689] the messengersH4397, which JoshuaH3091 sentH7971[H8804] to spy outH7270[H8763] JerichoH3405.
[26]And JoshuaH3091 adjuredH7650[H8686] them at that timeH6256, sayingH559[H8800], CursedH779[H8803] be the manH376 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068, that riseth upH6965[H8799] and buildethH1129[H8804] this cityH5892 JerichoH3405: he shall lay the foundationH3245[H8762] thereof in his firstbornH1060, and in his youngestH6810 son shall he set upH5324[H8686] the gates of itH1817.
[27]So the LORDH3068 was with JoshuaH3091; and his fameH8089 was noised throughout all the countryH776.
