6:1 Now Jericho 3405 was straitly 5462 8802 shut up 5462 8794 because 6440 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478: none went out 3318 8802, and none came in 935 8802.(was…: Heb. did shut up, and was shut up)

6:2 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Joshua 3091, See 7200 8798, I have given 5414 8804 into thine hand 3027 Jericho 3405, and the king 4428 thereof, [and] the mighty men 1368 of valour 2428.

6:3 And ye shall compass 5437 8804 the city 5892, all [ye] men 582 of war 4421, [and] go round about 5362 8687 the city 5892 once 6471 259. Thus shalt thou do 6213 8799 six 8337 days 3117.

6:4 And seven 7651 priests 3548 shall bear 5375 8799 before 6440 the ark 727 seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' horns 3104: and the seventh 7637 day 3117 ye shall compass 5437 8799 the city 5892 seven 7651 times 6471, and the priests 3548 shall blow 8628 8799 with the trumpets 7782.

6:5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long 4900 8800 [blast] with the ram's 3104 horn 7161, [and] when ye hear 8085 8800 the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782, all the people 5971 shall shout 7321 8686 with a great 1419 shout 8643; and the wall 2346 of the city 5892 shall fall down 5307 8804 flat 8478, and the people 5971 shall ascend up 5927 8804 every man 376 straight before him.(flat: Heb. under it)

6:6 And Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126 called 7121 8799 the priests 3548, and said 559 8799 unto them, Take up 5375 8798 the ark 727 of the covenant 1285, and let seven 7651 priests 3548 bear 5375 8799 seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' horns 3104 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068.

6:7 And he said 559 8799 unto the people 5971, Pass on 5674 8798, and compass 5437 8798 the city 5892, and let him that is armed 2502 8803 pass on 5674 8799 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068.

6:8 And it came to pass, when Joshua 3091 had spoken 559 8800 unto the people 5971, that the seven 7651 priests 3548 bearing 5375 8802 the seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' horns 3104 passed on 5674 8804 before 6440 the LORD 3068, and blew 8628 8804 with the trumpets 7782: and the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 followed 1980 8802 them 310.

6:9 And the armed 2502 8803 men went 1980 8802 before 6440 the priests 3548 that blew 8628 8802 8675 8628 8804 with the trumpets 7782, and the rereward 622 8764 came 1980 8802 after 310 the ark 727, [the priests] going on 1980 8800, and blowing 8628 8800 with the trumpets 7782.(rereward: Heb. gathering host)

6:10 And Joshua 3091 had commanded 6680 8765 the people 5971, saying 559 8800, Ye shall not shout 7321 8686, nor make any noise 8085 8686 with your voice 6963, neither shall [any] word 1697 proceed 3318 8799 out of your mouth 6310, until the day 3117 I bid 559 8800 you shout 7321 8685; then shall ye shout 7321 8689.(any noise…: Heb. your voice to be heard)

6:11 So the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 compassed 5437 8686 the city 5892, going about 5362 8687 [it] once 6471 259: and they came 935 8799 into the camp 4264, and lodged 3885 8799 in the camp 4264.

6:12 And Joshua 3091 rose early 7925 8686 in the morning 1242, and the priests 3548 took up 5375 8799 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068.

6:13 And seven 7651 priests 3548 bearing 5375 8802 seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' horns 3104 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 went on 1980 8802 continually 1980 8800, and blew 8628 8804 with the trumpets 7782: and the armed men 2502 8803 went 1980 8802 before 6440 them; but the rereward 622 8764 came 1980 8802 after 310 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068, [the priests] going on 1980 8800, and blowing 8628 8800 with the trumpets 7782.

6:14 And the second 8145 day 3117 they compassed 5437 8799 the city 5892 once 6471 259, and returned 7725 8799 into the camp 4264: so they did 6213 8804 six 8337 days 3117.

6:15 And it came to pass on the seventh 7637 day 3117, that they rose early 7925 8686 about the dawning 5927 8800 of the day 7837, and compassed 5437 8799 the city 5892 after the same manner 4941 seven 7651 times 6471: only on that day 3117 they compassed 5437 8804 the city 5892 seven 7651 times 6471.

6:16 And it came to pass at the seventh 7637 time 6471, when the priests 3548 blew 8628 8804 with the trumpets 7782, Joshua 3091 said 559 8799 unto the people 5971, Shout 7321 8685; for the LORD 3068 hath given 5414 8804 you the city 5892.

6:17 And the city 5892 shall be accursed 2764, [even] it, and all that [are] therein, to the LORD 3068: only Rahab 7343 the harlot 2181 8802 shall live 2421 8799, she and all that [are] with her in the house 1004, because she hid 2244 8689 the messengers 4397 that we sent 7971 8804.(accursed: or, devoted)

6:18 And ye, in any wise 7535 keep 8104 8798 [yourselves] from the accursed thing 2764, lest ye make [yourselves] accursed 2763 8686, when ye take 3947 8804 of the accursed thing 2764, and make 7760 8804 the camp 4264 of Israel 3478 a curse 2764, and trouble 5916 8804 it.(accursed: or, devoted)(a curse: or, devoted)

6:19 But all the silver 3701, and gold 2091, and vessels 3627 of brass 5178 and iron 1270, [are] consecrated 6944 unto the LORD 3068: they shall come 935 8799 into the treasury 214 of the LORD 3068.(consecrated: Heb. holiness)

6:20 So the people 5971 shouted 7321 8686 when [the priests] blew 8628 8799 with the trumpets 7782: and it came to pass, when the people 5971 heard 8085 8800 the sound 6963 of the trumpet 7782, and the people 5971 shouted 7321 8686 with a great 1419 shout 8643, that the wall 2346 fell down flat 5307 8799, so that the people 5971 went up 5927 8799 into the city 5892, every man 376 straight before him, and they took 3920 8799 the city 5892.(flat: Heb. under it)

6:21 And they utterly destroyed 2763 8686 all that [was] in the city 5892, both man 376 and woman 802, young 5288 and old 2205, and ox 7794, and sheep 7716, and ass 2543, with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719.

6:22 But Joshua 3091 had said 559 8804 unto the two 8147 men 582 that had spied out 7270 8764 the country 776, Go 935 8798 into the harlot's 2181 8802 house 1004, and bring out 3318 8685 thence the woman 802, and all that she hath, as ye sware 7650 8738 unto her.

6:23 And the young men 5288 that were spies 7270 8764 went in 935 8799, and brought out 3318 8686 Rahab 7343, and her father 1, and her mother 517, and her brethren 251, and all that she had; and they brought out 3318 8689 all her kindred 4940, and left 3240 8686 them without 2351 the camp 4264 of Israel 3478.(kindred: Heb. families)

6:24 And they burnt 8313 8804 the city 5892 with fire 784, and all that [was] therein: only the silver 3701, and the gold 2091, and the vessels 3627 of brass 5178 and of iron 1270, they put 5414 8804 into the treasury 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD 3068.

6:25 And Joshua 3091 saved 2421 0 Rahab 7343 the harlot 2181 8802 alive 2421 8689, and her father's 1 household 1004, and all that she had; and she dwelleth 3427 8799 in 7130 Israel 3478 [even] unto this day 3117; because she hid 2244 8689 the messengers 4397, which Joshua 3091 sent 7971 8804 to spy out 7270 8763 Jericho 3405.

6:26 And Joshua 3091 adjured 7650 8686 [them] at that time 6256, saying 559 8800, Cursed 779 8803 [be] the man 376 before 6440 the LORD 3068, that riseth up 6965 8799 and buildeth 1129 8804 this city 5892 Jericho 3405: he shall lay the foundation 3245 8762 thereof in his firstborn 1060, and in his youngest 6810 [son] shall he set up 5324 8686 the gates 1817 of it.

6:27 So the LORD 3068 was with Joshua 3091; and his fame 8089 was [noised] throughout all the country 776.
