Joshua 6:8-10

Lexham English Bible

⁸ And when Joshua spoke^[a] to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the presence of Yahweh went forward and they blew the trumpets; and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh followed behind them. ⁹ And the armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while they were blowing the trumpets. ¹⁰ But Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You will not shout, and you will not let your voice be heard; a word will not go out from your mouth until the day I say to you ‘Shout!’ Then you will shout.”
