Contextual Overview
6 So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and instructed them, "Pick up the ark of the covenant, and seven priests must carry seven rams' horns in front of the ark of the Lord ." 7 And he told the army, "Move ahead and march around the city, with armed troops going ahead of the ark of the Lord ." 8 When Joshua gave the army its orders, the seven priests carrying the seven rams' horns before the Lord moved ahead and blew the horns as the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed behind. 9 Armed troops marched ahead of the priests blowing the horns, while the rear guard followed along behind the ark blowing rams' horns. 10 Now Joshua had instructed the army, "Do not give a battle cry or raise your voices; say nothing until the day I tell you, ‘Give the battle cry.' Then give the battle cry!" 11 So Joshua made sure they marched the ark of the Lord around the city one time. Then they went back to the camp and spent the night there. 12 Bright and early the next morning Joshua had the priests pick up the ark of the Lord . 13 The seven priests carrying the seven rams' horns before the ark of the Lord marched along blowing their horns. Armed troops marched ahead of them, while the rear guard followed along behind the ark of the Lord blowing rams' horns. 14 They marched around the city one time on the second day, then returned to the camp. They did this six days in all. 15 On the seventh day they were up at the crack of dawn and marched around the city as before—only this time they marched around it seven times.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Joshua rose early in the morning,.... Of the second day; to take care of, direct, and prepare everything for another procession on that day; so active and diligent was he to do the will and work of God, exactly and punctually:
and the priests took up the ark of the Lord; and carried it about as they had done the day before.
