1. Jericho was shut up tight as a drum because of the People of Israel: no one going in, no one coming out.
6. So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and told them, “Take up the Chest of the Covenant. Seven priests are to carry seven ram’s horn trumpets leading God’s Chest.”
7. Then he told the people, “Set out! March around the city. Have the armed guard march before the Chest of God.”
10. Joshua had given orders to the people, “Don’t shout. In fact, don’t even speak—not so much as a whisper until you hear me say, ‘Shout!’—then shout away!”
