Joshua 6:9-11

New International Version

⁹ The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard^(A) followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding. ¹⁰ But Joshua had commanded the army, “Do not give a war cry, do not raise your voices, do not say a word until the day I tell you to shout. Then shout!^(B)” ¹¹ So he had the ark of the Lord carried around the city, circling it once. Then the army returned to camp and spent the night there.
