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.”
11. They obeyed Joshua's orders and carried the chest once around the town before returning to camp for the night.
15. On the seventh day, the army got up at daybreak. They marched slowly around Jericho as they had done for the past six days, except on this day they went around seven times.
16. Then the priests blew the trumpets, and Joshua yelled:Get ready to shout! The Lord will let you capture this town.
17. But you must destroy it and everything in it, to show that it now belongs to the Lord. The woman Rahab helped the spies we sent, so protect her and the others who are inside her house. But kill everyone else in the town.
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.
26. After Jericho was destroyed, Joshua warned the people, “Some day a man will rebuild Jericho, but the Lord will put a curse on him, and the man's eldest son will die when he starts to build the town wall. And by the time he finishes the wall and puts gates in it, all his children will be dead.”
