SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:10
Y Josué mandó al pueblo, diciendo: Vosotros no daréis grita, ni se oirá vuestra voz, ni saldrá palabra de vuestra boca, hasta el día que yo os diga: Gritad; entonces daréis grita.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. And Joshua had commanded the people , etc.] When he gave them their orders to pass on, and compass the city, ( Joshua 6:7); saying, ye shall not shout ; that is, on any of the six days as they went round the city, only on the seventh; for this being a sign of victory, it was not to be made until the day when it should be obtained; otherwise, had they shouted, and nothing followed on it, it would have exposed them to the contempt of the inhabitants of Jericho, and would have put them in spirit, and hardened them: nor make any noise with your voice ; as laughing, singing, etc. This profound silence was to be observed, to add to the gravity and solemnity of the procession; and on account of the surprising miracle that was to be wrought, and particularly because of the ark, the symbol of the divine Presence, borne before them; and when God in his providence was about to speak in so awful a manner, and to do such a surprising work, it was very fit and decent that they should be silent before him; (see Habakkuk 2:20 Zechariah 2:13); neither shall [any] word proceed out of your mouth ; no conversation or discourse were to be had with each other as they passed along; for this is only to be restrained to the procession; when they returned, and in their camp, they might talk and discourse as at other times: until the day I bid you shout, then shall ye shout ; for as yet it seems Joshua had not told them how many days they should surround the city in this manner, and on what day the shout should be made by them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-16 - Wherever the ark went, the people attended it. God's ministers, by the trumpet of the everlasting gospel, which proclaims liberty and victory must encourage the followers of Christ in their spiritual warfare. A promised deliverances must be expected in God's way, so they must be expected in his time. At last the people were to shout: they did so and the walls fell. This was a shout of faith; they believed the wall of Jericho would fall. It was a shout of prayer; they cry to Heaven for help, and help came.
