Contextual Overview

⁶ So Joshua the son of Nun called the religious leaders and said to them, "Take up the special box of the agreement. And let seven religious leaders carry seven rams' horns in front of the special box of the agreement." ⁷ Then he said to the people, "Go and walk around the city. Let the men ready for battle go in front of the special box of the agreement." ⁸ When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven religious leaders carrying the seven rams' horns before the Lord walked on and blew the horns. And the special box of the agreement of the Lord followed them. ⁹ The men ready for battle went in front of the religious leaders who blew the horns. The other soldiers came behind the special box of the agreement while the horns sounded without stopping. ¹⁰ But Joshua told the people, "Do not call out or let your voice be heard. Not a word should come from your mouth until the day I tell you to call out. Then you must call out." ¹¹ So he had the special box of the agreement taken around the city once. Then they returned to the tents and stayed there through the night. ¹² Joshua got up early in the morning. And the religious leaders took up the special box of the agreement. ¹³ The seven religious leaders carrying the seven rams' horns in front of the special box of the agreement began walking and blew the horns without stopping. The men ready for battle went in front of them. The other soldiers came behind the special box of the agreement. And the horns sounded without stopping. ¹⁴ The second day they walked around the city once. Then they returned to the tents. They did this for six days. ¹⁵ On the seventh day they got up early at the rising of the sun. They walked around the city in the same way, but on that day they walked around the city seven times.
