⁶ Joshua called the priests to come to him. He told them, ‘Pick up the Lord's Covenant Box. Seven priests must march in front of it. They must hold seven trumpets, one each.’

⁷ Then Joshua told the people to start marching round the city. A group of soldiers should march in front of the Lord's Covenant Box.

⁸ Joshua finished speaking to the people. Then the seven priests carrying their trumpets marched in front of the Covenant Box. They made a noise on their trumpets as the Covenant Box followed them.
