3 March around the city with your armed men once a day for six days. 4 Seven priests are to go ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram’s horn. On the seventh day, march seven times around the city, with the priests blowing their rams' horns. 5 When you hear a long blast on the rams' horns, everyone shall give a really loud shout. The city walls will collapse, and every man can go right in."
20 So as soon as they heard the sound of the horns, the people gave a loud shout,6:20. The Hebrew text states that the people shouted and the horns blew, and then that when they heard the horns, the people shouted. Since it is considered that there was just one event, the repetition of the horns and the shout seems superfluous. and the city walls collapsed. The men went in right away and captured the city.
