6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests together and said to them, "Carry the Holy Box of the Lord . Tell seven priests to carry the trumpets and march in front of it." 7 Then Joshua ordered the people, "Now go! March around the city. The soldiers with weapons will march in front of the Holy Box of the Lord ." 8 After Joshua finished speaking to the people, the seven priests with the trumpets began marching before the Lord , blowing the trumpets as they marched. The priests carrying the Lord 's Holy Box followed them. 9 The soldiers with weapons marched in front of the priests who were blowing the horns. And the rest of the men walked behind the Holy Box, marching and blowing their trumpets. 10 Joshua had told the people not to give a war cry. He said, "Don't shout. Don't say a word until the day I tell you. Then you will shout." 11 So Joshua made the priests carry the Holy Box of the Lord around the city one time. Then they went back to the camp and spent the night there. 12 Early the next morning Joshua got up, and the priests carried the Lord 's Holy Box again. 13 The seven priests with the trumpets marched in front of the Lord 's Holy Box, blowing their trumpets. The soldiers with weapons marched in front of them. The rest of the people marched behind the Lord 's Holy Box.
