Joshua 6:6-8

International Standard Version

The Destruction of Jericho

⁶ So Nun’s son Joshua called for the priests. “Pick up the Ark of the Covenant,” he told them, “and have seven priests carry seven trumpets made from rams’ horns in front of the ark of the Lord.”

⁷ He told the army, “Go out and encircle the city. Have the armed men march out in front of the ark of the Lord.”

⁸ And so, just as Joshua had commanded, seven of the priests went forward, carrying the seven trumpets made of rams’ horns in the Lord’s presence, blowing the trumpets while the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord followed them.
