Joshua 6:1-3 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

1. The gates of Jericho were kept shut and guarded to keep the Israelites out. No one could enter or leave the city.

2. The Lord said to Joshua, “I am putting into your hands Jericho, with its king and all its brave soldiers.

3. You and your soldiers are to march round the city once a day for six days.

12-13. Joshua got up early the next morning, and for the second time the priests and soldiers marched round the city in the same order as the day before: first, the advance guard; next, the seven priests blowing the seven trumpets; then, the priests carrying the Lord's Covenant Box; and finally, the rearguard. All this time the trumpets were sounding.
