RF JOS 6:1 (B.C. 1451) The town of Jeriko Resists Joshua.
But Jeriko shut itself up;—and it was shut up before the children of Israel,—none came out, and none went in.
RF JOS 6:2 Then the EVER-LIVING said to Joshua, "I have given Jeriko to your hand, with the royal commanders of its power.
RF JOS 6:3 Therefore let all the troops march round the walls of the city in a circle. Do this for six days.
RF JOS 6:4 But on the seventh let the priests take the seven trumpets of the Jubilee from before the Ark, and on the seventh encirclement of the city, after the seventh time, the priests shall sound with the trumpets,
RF JOS 6:5 and at the crash of the horns of Jubilee,—at the sound of the voice of the trumpets, all the forces shall shout with a great shout, when the walls of the city will fall down, and the people shall go up, each ahead of himself."
RF JOS 6:6 Joshua the son of Nun consequently summoned the priests, and said to them; "Take up the Ark of the Covenant, and let seven priests carry the seven Jubilee Trumpets before the Ark of the EVER-LIVING."
RF JOS 6:7 And he himself commanded the forces; "March and surround the city!" He then passed before the Ark of the EVER-LIVING,
RF JOS 6:8 and Joshua said to the People and the seven priests who carried the seven Jubilee Trumpets before the EVER-LIVING; "March on and blow the trumpets, and the Ark of the Covenant of the EVER-LIVING shall follow you."
RF JOS 6:9 So part marched before the priests who blew the trumpets and the others marched after the Ark,—marching and blowing the trumpets.
RF JOS 6:10 But Joshua commanded the force; "Do not shout, and let not your voice be heard, and let no word come from your mouth, until the day when I tell you to shout—then shout out!"
RF JOS 6:11 Thus the Ark of the EVER-LIVING marched round the city with measured step once. Then they returned to the camp, and rested in the camp.
RF JOS 6:12 When Joshua arose next morning the priests took up the Ark of the EVER-LIVING,
RF JOS 6:13 and seven priests took the seven Jubilee Trumpets from before the Ark. Marching, they marched and sounded the trumpets, and the vanguard marched before them, and the rear marched after the Ark of the EVER-LIVING, marching and blowing trumpets,
RF JOS 6:14 and circuited the city the second day, once, and returned to the camp. They did the same for six days.
RF JOS 6:15 But when the seventh day arrived, at the departure of darkness, they circled the city as instructed seven times;—yes! they circled the city seven times,
RF JOS 6:16 and, at the seventh time, the priests sounded the trumpets, and Joshua said to the people; "Cheer! for the EVER-LIVING has given you this city!
RF JOS 6:17 and the city shall be devoted, it, and all that is in it, to the EVER-LIVING, except Rahab the innkeeper, she shall live; she and all who are in her house, for she concealed the messengers whom we sent.
RF JOS 6:18 But except them, keep yourselves from the devoted things, lest you should be tempted to take some from the devoted, and put it in the camp of Israel, and bring destruction and trouble to it.
RF JOS 6:19 For all silver, and gold, and brass, and iron, are sacred to the EVER-LIVING. It must come to the treasury of the EVER-LIVING."
RF JOS 6:20 The Walls of Jeriko Fall.
Then the People cheered, and the trumpets sounded!and when the People heard the sound of the trumpets, then the people cheered with a loud cheering; then the walls fell down, and the men went into the city, each before himself and captured the town,
RF JOS 6:21 and destroyed all who were in the city, both men and women, from the young to the old, and even cattle and sheep, and asses, by the edge of the sword.
RF JOS 6:22 But Joshua had said to the two men who spied the country; "Go to the house of the innkeeping woman, and bring that woman from there, and all who are with her, as you promised to her."
RF JOS 6:23 Consequently the young spies went and brought out Rahab, and her father and mother, and brothers, and all who were with her;
RF JOS 6:24 however, the silver and gold, and furniture of brass and iron, they gave to the treasury of the House of the EVER-LIVING.
RF JOS 6:25 But Joshua granted life to Rahab the innkeeper, and the family of her father, and all belonging to her (and they are resident in the heart of Israel to this day), because she concealed the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy Jeriko.
RF JOS 6:26 A Curse put on the Site of Jeriko.
At the same time Joshua swore saying; "Let the man be accursed before the EVER-LIVING who raises and builds this city of Jeriko! Let him lay the foundation on his first born and set up the gates on his youngest!"
RF JOS 6:27 Thus the EVER-LIVING was with Joshua, and his fame spread over all the country.
