 |
| Joshua 6:1 |
|
Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of
the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in. |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:2 |
|
And Jehovah said unto Joshua, See, I have given
into thy hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 6:3 |
|
And ye shall compass the city, all the men of
war, going about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 6:4 |
|
And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets
of rams' horns before the ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven
times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 6:5 |
|
And it shall be, that, when they make a long
blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the
people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down
flat, and the people shall go up every man straight before him. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 6:6 |
|
And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests,
and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear
seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of Jehovah. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 6:7 |
|
And they said unto the people, Pass on, and
compass the city, and let the armed men pass on before the ark of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:8 |
|
And it was so, that, when Joshua had spoken
unto the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before
Jehovah passed on, and blew the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah
followed them. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:9 |
|
And the armed men went before the priests that
blew the trumpets, and the rearward went after the ark, the priests blowing the
trumpets as they went. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:10 |
|
And Joshua commanded the people, saying, Ye
shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out
of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:11 |
|
So he caused the ark of Jehovah to compass the
city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:12 |
|
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the
priests took up the ark of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:13 |
|
And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets
of rams' horns before the ark of Jehovah went on continually, and blew the trumpets:
and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of Jehovah,
the priests blowing the trumpets as they went. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:14 |
|
And the second day they compassed the city once,
and returned into the camp: so they did six days. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:15 |
|
And it came to pass on the seventh day, that
they rose early at the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same
manner seven times: only on the day they compassed the city seven times. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:16 |
|
And it came to pass at the seventh time, when
the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for Jehovah
hath given you the city. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:17 |
|
And the city shall be devoted, even it and all
that is therein, to Jehovah: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that
are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:18 |
|
But as for you, only keep yourselves from the
devoted thing, lest when ye have devoted it, ye take of the devoted thing; so
would ye make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it. |
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:19 |
|
But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of
brass and iron, are holy unto Jehovah: they shall come into the treasury of Jehovah.
|
| |
|
|
| Joshua 6:20 |
|
So the people shouted, and the priests blew
the trumpets; and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet,
that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that
the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took
the city. |
| |
|
|
| Joshua 6:21 |
|
And they utterly destroyed all that was in the
city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with
the edge of the sword. |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:22 |
|
And Joshua said unto the two men that had spied
out the land, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out thence the woman, and
all that she hath, as ye sware unto her. |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:23 |
|
And the young men the spies went in, and brought
out Rahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she
had; all her kindred also they brought out; and they set them without the camp
of Israel. |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:24 |
|
And they burnt the city with fire, and all that
was therein; only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron,
they put into the treasury of the house of Jehovah. |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:25 |
|
But Rahab the harlot, and her father's household,
and all that she had, did Joshua save alive; and she dwelt in the midst of Israel
unto this day, because she hid the messengers, whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
|
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:26 |
|
And Joshua charged them with an oath at that
time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah, that riseth up and buildeth this
city Jericho: with the loss of his first-born shall he lay the foundation thereof,
and with the loss of his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it. |
|
|
|
|
| Joshua 6:27 |
|
So Jehovah was with Joshua; and his fame was
in all the land. |
