Now Jericho <H3405> was straitly <H5462> shut up <H5462> because <H6440> of the children <H1121> of Israel: <H3478> none went out, <H3318> and none came in. <H0935>
2
And the LORD <H3068> said <H0559> unto Joshua, <H3091> See, <H7200> I have given <H5414> into thine hand <H3027> Jericho, <H3405> and the king <H4428> thereof, [and] the mighty men <H1368> of valour. <H2428>
3
And ye shall compass <H5437> the city, <H5892> all [ye] men <H0582> of war, <H4421> [and] go round about <H5362> the city <H5892> once. <H6471> <H0259> Thus shalt thou do <H6213> six <H8337> days. <H3117>
4
And seven <H7651> priests <H3548> shall bear <H5375> before <H6440> the ark <H0727> seven <H7651> trumpets <H7782> of rams' horns: <H3104> and the seventh <H7637> day <H3117> ye shall compass <H5437> the city <H5892> seven <H7651> times, <H6471> and the priests <H3548> shall blow <H8628> with the trumpets. <H7782>
5
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long <H4900> [blast] with the ram's <H3104> horn, <H7161> [and] when ye hear <H8085> the sound <H6963> of the trumpet, <H7782> all the people <H5971> shall shout <H7321> with a great <H1419> shout; <H8643> and the wall <H2346> of the city <H5892> shall fall down <H5307> flat, <H8478> and the people <H5971> shall ascend up <H5927> every man <H0376> straight before him.
6
And Joshua <H3091> the son <H1121> of Nun <H5126> called <H7121> the priests, <H3548> and said <H0559> unto them, Take up <H5375> the ark <H0727> of the covenant, <H1285> and let seven <H7651> priests <H3548> bear <H5375> seven <H7651> trumpets <H7782> of rams' horns <H3104> before <H6440> the ark <H0727> of the LORD. <H3068>
7
And he said <H0559> unto the people, <H5971> Pass on, <H5674> and compass <H5437> the city, <H5892> and let him that is armed <H2502> pass on <H5674> before <H6440> the ark <H0727> of the LORD. <H3068>
8
And it came to pass, when Joshua <H3091> had spoken <H0559> unto the people, <H5971> that the seven <H7651> priests <H3548> bearing <H5375> the seven <H7651> trumpets <H7782> of rams' horns <H3104> passed on <H5674> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> and blew <H8628> with the trumpets: <H7782> and the ark <H0727> of the covenant <H1285> of the LORD <H3068> followed <H1980> them. <H0310>
9
And the armed <H2502> men went <H1980> before <H6440> the priests <H3548> that blew <H8628> with the trumpets, <H7782> and the rereward <H0622> came <H1980> after <H0310> the ark, <H0727> [the priests] going on, <H1980> and blowing <H8628> with the trumpets. <H7782>
10
And Joshua <H3091> had commanded <H6680> the people, <H5971> saying, <H0559> Ye shall not shout, <H7321> nor make any noise <H8085> with your voice, <H6963> neither shall [any] word <H1697> proceed <H3318> out of your mouth, <H6310> until the day <H3117> I bid <H0559> you shout; <H7321> then shall ye shout. <H7321>
11
So the ark <H0727> of the LORD <H3068> compassed <H5437> the city, <H5892> going about <H5362> [it] once: <H6471> <H0259> and they came <H0935> into the camp, <H4264> and lodged <H3885> in the camp. <H4264>
12
And Joshua <H3091> rose early <H7925> in the morning, <H1242> and the priests <H3548> took up <H5375> the ark <H0727> of the LORD. <H3068>
13
And seven <H7651> priests <H3548> bearing <H5375> seven <H7651> trumpets <H7782> of rams' horns <H3104> before <H6440> the ark <H0727> of the LORD <H3068> went on <H1980> continually, <H1980> and blew <H8628> with the trumpets: <H7782> and the armed <H2502> men went <H1980> before <H6440> them; but the rereward <H0622> came <H1980> after <H0310> the ark <H0727> of the LORD, <H3068> [the priests] going on, <H1980> and blowing <H8628> with the trumpets. <H7782>
14
And the second <H8145> day <H3117> they compassed <H5437> the city <H5892> once, <H6471> <H0259> and returned <H7725> into the camp: <H4264> so they did <H6213> six <H8337> days. <H3117>
15
And it came to pass on the seventh <H7637> day, <H3117> that they rose early <H7925> about the dawning <H5927> of the day, <H7837> and compassed <H5437> the city <H5892> after the same manner <H4941> seven <H7651> times: <H6471> only on that day <H3117> they compassed <H5437> the city <H5892> seven <H7651> times. <H6471>
16
And it came to pass at the seventh <H7637> time, <H6471> when the priests <H3548> blew <H8628> with the trumpets, <H7782> Joshua <H3091> said <H0559> unto the people, <H5971> Shout; <H7321> for the LORD <H3068> hath given <H5414> you the city. <H5892>
17
And the city <H5892> shall be accursed, <H2764> [even] it, and all that [are] therein, to the LORD: <H3068> only Rahab <H7343> the harlot <H2181> shall live, <H2421> she and all that [are] with her in the house, <H1004> because she hid <H2244> the messengers <H4397> that we sent. <H7971>
18
And ye, in any wise <H7535> keep <H8104> [yourselves] from the accursed thing, <H2764> lest ye make [yourselves] accursed, <H2763> when ye take <H3947> of the accursed thing, <H2764> and make <H7760> the camp <H4264> of Israel <H3478> a curse, <H2764> and trouble <H5916> it.
19
But all the silver, <H3701> and gold, <H2091> and vessels <H3627> of brass <H5178> and iron, <H1270> [are] consecrated <H6944> unto the LORD: <H3068> they shall come <H0935> into the treasury <H0214> of the LORD. <H3068>
20
So the people <H5971> shouted <H7321> when [the priests] blew <H8628> with the trumpets: <H7782> and it came to pass, when the people <H5971> heard <H8085> the sound <H6963> of the trumpet, <H7782> and the people <H5971> shouted <H7321> with a great <H1419> shout, <H8643> that the wall <H2346> fell down <H5307> flat, so that the people <H5971> went up <H5927> into the city, <H5892> every man <H0376> straight before him, and they took <H3920> the city. <H5892>
21
And they utterly destroyed <H2763> all that [was] in the city, <H5892> both man <H0376> and woman, <H0802> young <H5288> and old, <H2205> and ox, <H7794> and sheep, <H7716> and ass, <H2543> with the edge <H6310> of the sword. <H2719>
22
But Joshua <H3091> had said <H0559> unto the two <H8147> men <H0582> that had spied out <H7270> the country, <H0776> Go <H0935> into the harlot's <H0802> <H2181> house, <H1004> and bring out <H3318> thence the woman, <H0802> and all that she hath, as ye sware <H7650> unto her.
23
And the young men <H5288> that were spies <H7270> went in, <H0935> and brought out <H3318> Rahab, <H7343> and her father, <H0001> and her mother, <H0517> and her brethren, <H0251> and all that she had; and they brought out <H3318> all her kindred, <H4940> and left <H3240> them without <H2351> the camp <H4264> of Israel. <H3478>
24
And they burnt <H8313> the city <H5892> with fire, <H0784> and all that [was] therein: only the silver, <H3701> and the gold, <H2091> and the vessels <H3627> of brass <H5178> and of iron, <H1270> they put <H5414> into the treasury <H0214> of the house <H1004> of the LORD. <H3068>
25
And Joshua <H3091> saved Rahab <H7343> the harlot <H2181> alive, <H2421> and her father's <H0001> household, <H1004> and all that she had; and she dwelleth <H3427> in <H7130> Israel <H3478> [even] unto this day; <H3117> because she hid <H2244> the messengers, <H4397> which Joshua <H3091> sent <H7971> to spy out <H7270> Jericho. <H3405>
26
And Joshua <H3091> adjured <H7650> [them] at that time, <H6256> saying, <H0559> Cursed <H0779> [be] the man <H0376> before <H6440> the LORD, <H3068> that riseth up <H6965> and buildeth <H1129> this city <H5892> Jericho: <H3405> he shall lay the foundation <H3245> thereof in his firstborn, <H1060> and in his youngest <H6810> [son] shall he set up <H5324> the gates <H1817> of it.
27
So the LORD <H3068> was with Joshua; <H3091> and his fame <H8089> was [noised] throughout all the country. <H0776>
