2-3. The Lord said to Joshua:With my help, you and your army will defeat the king of Jericho and his army, and you will capture the town. Here is how to do it: march slowly around Jericho once a day for six days.
4. Take along the sacred chest and make seven priests walk in front of it, carrying trumpets.But on the seventh day, march slowly around the town seven times while the priests blow their trumpets.
5. Then the priests will blast on their trumpets, and everyone else will shout. The wall will fall down, and your soldiers can go straight in from every side.
6. Joshua called the priests together and said, “Take the chest and make seven priests carry trumpets and march ahead of it.”
20. The priests blew their trumpets again, and the soldiers shouted as loud as they could. The walls of Jericho fell flat. Then the soldiers rushed up the hill, went straight into the town, and captured it.
