1 And Jericho shuts itself up, and is shut up, because of the presence of the sons of Israel—none going out, and none coming in. 2 And YHWH says to Joshua, "See, I have given Jericho and its king into your hand—mighty men of valor, 3 and you have surrounded the city—all the men of battle—going around the city once; thus you do [for] six days; 4 and seven priests carry seven horns of the rams before the Ark, and on the seventh day you go around the city seven times, and the priests blow with the horns, 5 and it has been, in the prolonging of the horn of the ram, in your hearing the voice of the horn, all the people shout [with] a great shout, and the wall of the city has fallen under it, and the people have gone up, each straight before him." 6 And Joshua son of Nun calls to the priests and says to them, "Carry the Ark of the Covenant, and seven priests carry seven horns of the rams before the Ark of YHWH"; 7 and He said to the people, "Pass over, and go around the city, and he who is armed passes over before the Ark of YHWH."
