Ang Pagbagsak ng Jerico
6 Isinara ang mga pintuan ng Jerico upang huwag makapasok ang mga Israelita. Ipinagbawal na lumabas o pumasok ang sinuman. 2 Sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, “Pakinggan mo ito! Ibinigay ko na sa iyong mga kamay ang Jerico, upang sakupin ito at gapiin ang kanyang hari at magigiting na kawal. 3 Ikaw at ang iyong mga kawal ay liligid sa palibot ng Jerico minsan isang araw sa loob ng anim na araw. 4 Pauunahin mo sa Kaban ng Tipan ang pitong paring may dalang mga trumpeta na yari sa sungay. Sa ikapitong araw, pitong beses kayong liligid sa lunsod, at hihipan ng mga pari ang dala nilang trumpeta. 5 Pagkarinig ninyo ng isang malakas at mahabang tunog ng tambuli, lahat kayo'y ubod-lakas na sisigaw. Sa sandaling iyon, babagsak ang mga pader ng lunsod at walang sagabal na makakapasok doon ang lahat.”
6 Kaya't tinawag ni Josue ang mga pari ng Israel at sinabi sa kanila, “Dalhin ninyo ang Kaban ng Tipan ni Yahweh; mauuna ang pitong paring may dalang mga trumpeta.” 7 At sinabi naman niya sa mga taong-bayan, “Lumakad na kayo! Lumigid kayo sa lunsod, at paunahin ninyo sa Kaban ng Tipan ni Yahweh ang mga sandatahang lalaki.”
8 Tulad ng sinabi ni Josue, lumakad nga sa unahan ng Kaban ng Tipan ang pitong paring may dalang trumpeta, at habang lumalakad ay hinihipan nila ang mga ito.
9 Nauuna sa mga pari ang unang hanay ng mga kawal. Kasunod naman ng Kaban ng Tipan ang mga kawal na nasa panghuling hanay. Samantala, walang tigil ang tunog ng mga trumpeta. 10 Ngunit sinabi ni Josue sa mga tao, “Huwag kayong sisigaw, o magsasalita man, hanggang hindi ko kayo binibigyan ng hudyat.” 11 Sa utos nga ni Josue, iniligid nilang minsan sa lunsod ang Kaban ng Tipan ni Yahweh. Pagkatapos, bumalik sila sa kampo at doon sila nagpalipas ng gabi.
12 Kinabukasan, maagang bumangon si Josue. Binuhat ng mga pari ang Kaban ng Tipan ni Yahweh, 13 at muling nauna rito ang pitong pari na walang tigil sa pag-ihip ng dala nilang trumpeta. Muling pumuwesto sa unahan nila ang unang hanay ng mga kawal, samantalang ang mga panghuling hanay ay nasa likuran ng Kaban ng Tipan ni Yahweh. Patuloy ang pag-ihip sa mga trumpeta. 14 Nilibot nga nilang minsan ang lunsod noong ikalawang araw, at pagkatapos ay bumalik silang muli sa kampo. Ganito ang ginawa nila araw-araw sa loob ng anim na araw.
15 Nang ikapitong araw, bumangon sila nang magbukang-liwayway, at lumibot nang pitong beses sa lunsod. Noon lamang nila ito nilibot nang pitong beses. 16 Sa ikapitong libot, hinipan ng mga pari ang mga trumpeta at iniutos ni Josue sa mga tao, “Sumigaw na kayo sapagkat ibinigay na sa inyo ni Yahweh ang lunsod! 17 Ang buong lunsod at ang anumang matatagpuan doon ay wawasakin bilang handog kay Yahweh. Si Rahab lamang at ang kanyang mga kasambahay ang ililigtas sapagkat itinago niya ang ating mga isinugo roon. 18 At huwag na huwag kayong kukuha ng anumang bagay na nakatakdang wasakin. Kapag kumuha kayo ng anuman, kayo ang magiging sanhi ng pagkapahamak ng buong Israel. 19 Ngunit ang lahat ng bagay na yari sa ginto, pilak, tanso, o bakal ay nakalaan para kay Yahweh, at dapat ilagay sa kabang-yaman ni Yahweh.”
20 Kaya't(A) hinipan nga ng mga pari ang mga trumpeta at nagsigawan nang napakalakas ang mga tao nang marinig iyon. Bumagsak ang mga pader ng lunsod at sumalakay sila. Nakapasok sila nang walang sagabal at nasakop nila ang lunsod. 21 Pinatay nila ang lahat ng tao sa lunsod—lalaki't babae, matanda't bata—at pati ang mga asno, baka at tupa.
22 Sinabi ni Josue sa dalawang espiya na isinugo niya noon, “Pumunta kayo sa bahay ng babaing inyong tinuluyan. Ilabas ninyo siya at ang buo niyang angkan, ayon sa inyong pangako sa kanya.” 23 Pumunta nga sila at inilabas si Rahab, ang kanyang ama't ina, mga kapatid at mga alipin. Inilabas din nila pati ang kanyang mga kamag-anak at dinalang lahat sa kampo ng Israel. 24 Pagkatapos ay sinunog nila ang lunsod at tinupok ang lahat ng bagay na naroon, liban sa mga yari sa ginto, pilak, tanso, o bakal. Ang mga ito'y inilagay nila sa kabang-yaman ni Yahweh. 25 Si(B) Rahab na isang babaing nagbebenta ng panandaliang-aliw ay iniligtas ni Josue, pati ang buong angkan nito, sapagkat itinago nito ang mga lalaking isinugo upang lihim na magmanman sa Jerico. Ang mga naging anak at sumunod na salinlahi ni Rahab ay nanirahan sa Israel hanggang sa araw na ito.
26 Noon(C) di'y pinanumpa ni Josue ang buong bayan sa pangalan ni Yahweh. Sinabi niya,
“Sumpain ang sinumang magtatayong muli ng lunsod na ito ng Jerico.
Mamamatay ang anak na panganay ng sinumang muling maglalagay ng mga saligan nito.
Mamamatay ang anak na bunso ng magbabangong muli ng kanyang mga pintuan.”
27 Pinatnubayan ni Yahweh si Josue, at naging tanyag ang kanyang pangalan sa lupaing iyon.

6 Yericho had completely barricaded its gates against the people of Isra’el — no one left, and no one entered. 2 Adonai said to Y’hoshua, “I have handed Yericho over to you, including its king and his warriors. 3 You are to encircle the city with all your soldiers and march around it once. Do this for six days. 4 Seven cohanim are to carry seven shofars in front of the ark. On the seventh day you are to march around the city seven times, and the cohanim will blow the shofars. 5 Then they are to blow a long blast on the shofar. On hearing the sound of the shofar, all the people are to shout as loudly as they can; and the wall of the city will fall down flat. Then the people are to go up into the city, each one straight from where he stands.”
6 Y’hoshua the son of Nun called the cohanim and told them, “Take up the ark for the covenant, and have seven cohanim carry seven shofars ahead of the ark of Adonai.” 7 To the people he said, “Move on, encircle the city, and have the army march ahead of the ark of Adonai.” 8 When Y’hoshua had spoken to the people, the seven cohanim carrying the seven shofars before Adonai passed on and blew on the shofars, with the ark for the covenant of Adonai following them. 9 The fighting men went ahead of the cohanim blowing the shofars, while the rearguard marched after the ark, with incessant blowing on the shofars. 10 Y’hoshua gave this order to the people: “Don’t shout, don’t let your voice be heard, don’t let a single word out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout; then you will shout.”
11 So he had the ark of Adonai make a circle around the city, going around it once; then they returned to camp and stayed in the camp. 12 The next morning Y’hoshua got up early, and the cohanim took up the ark of Adonai. 13 The seven cohanim carrying the seven shofars ahead of the ark of Adonai went on, continually blowing on their shofars, with the fighting men marching ahead of them and the rearguard following after the ark of Adonai; all the while the blowing on the shofars was incessant. 14 The second day, they went around the city once and returned to camp. They did the same for six days.
15 On the seventh day, they got up early, at sunrise, and went around the city in the same way seven times. That was the only day they encircled the city seven times. 16 The seventh time, when the cohanim blew on their shofars, Y’hoshua said to the people, “Shout! because Adonai has given you the city! 17 But the city and everything in it is to be set aside for Adonai and therefore to be destroyed completely; only Rachav the prostitute is to be spared, she and everyone with her in her house, because she hid the messengers we sent. 18 So you, keep clear of everything reserved for destruction. If you bring a curse on yourselves by taking anything set aside to be destroyed, you will bring a curse on the whole camp of Isra’el and cause great distress there. 19 All the silver and gold, and all the brass and iron utensils are to be separated out for Adonai and added to the treasury of Adonai.”
20 So the people shouted, with the shofars blowing. When the people heard the sound of the shofars, the people let out a great shout; and the wall fell down flat; so that the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead of him; and they captured the city. 21 They completely destroyed everything in the city with the sword — men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
22 Y’hoshua said to the two men who had reconnoitered the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring the woman out with all that she has, as you swore to her.” 23 The young men, the spies, went in and brought out Rachav with her father, mother, brothers and all she had; they brought out all her relatives and put them safely outside the camp of Isra’el.
24 Then they burned the city to ashes with everything in it, except for the silver, the gold and the brass and iron utensils, which they put in the treasury of the house of Adonai. 25 But Y’hoshua spared Rachav the prostitute, her father’s household and everything she had; and she has continued living with Isra’el from then until now; because she hid the messengers Y’hoshua had sent to reconnoiter Yericho. 26 Y’hoshua then made the people take this oath: “A curse before Adonai on anyone who rises up and rebuilds this city of Yericho: he will lay its foundation with the loss of his firstborn son and set up its gates with the loss of his youngest son.” 27 So Adonai was with Y’hoshua, and people heard about him throughout the land.

6 Now the gates of Jericho(A) were securely barred because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in.
2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered(B) Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men. 3 March around the city once with all the armed men. Do this for six days. 4 Have seven priests carry trumpets of rams’ horns(C) in front of the ark. On the seventh day, march around the city seven times, with the priests blowing the trumpets.(D) 5 When you hear them sound a long blast(E) on the trumpets, have the whole army give a loud shout;(F) then the wall of the city will collapse and the army will go up, everyone straight in.”
6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant of the Lord and have seven priests carry trumpets in front of it.”(G) 7 And he ordered the army, “Advance(H)! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark(I) of the Lord.”
8 When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them. 9 The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard(J) 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!(K)” 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.
12 Joshua got up early the next morning and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets went forward, marching before the ark of the Lord and blowing the trumpets. The armed men went ahead of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets kept sounding. 14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.
15 On the seventh day, they got up at daybreak and marched around the city seven times in the same manner, except that on that day they circled the city seven times.(L) 16 The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the army, “Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!(M) 17 The city and all that is in it are to be devoted[a](N) to the Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute(O) and all who are with her in her house shall be spared, because she hid(P) the spies we sent. 18 But keep away from the devoted things,(Q) so that you will not bring about your own destruction by taking any of them. Otherwise you will make the camp of Israel liable to destruction(R) and bring trouble(S) on it. 19 All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron(T) are sacred to the Lord and must go into his treasury.”
20 When the trumpets sounded,(U) the army shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the men gave a loud shout,(V) the wall collapsed; so everyone charged straight in, and they took the city.(W) 21 They devoted(X) the city to the Lord and destroyed(Y) with the sword every living thing in it—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep and donkeys.
22 Joshua said to the two men(Z) who had spied out(AA) the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring her out and all who belong to her, in accordance with your oath to her.(AB)” 23 So the young men who had done the spying went in and brought out Rahab, her father and mother, her brothers and sisters and all who belonged to her.(AC) They brought out her entire family and put them in a place outside the camp of Israel.
24 Then they burned the whole city(AD) and everything in it, but they put the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron(AE) into the treasury of the Lord’s house.(AF) 25 But Joshua spared(AG) Rahab the prostitute,(AH) with her family and all who belonged to her, because she hid the men Joshua had sent as spies to Jericho(AI)—and she lives among the Israelites to this day.
26 At that time Joshua pronounced this solemn oath:(AJ) “Cursed(AK) before the Lord is the one who undertakes to rebuild this city, Jericho:
“At the cost of his firstborn son
he will lay its foundations;
at the cost of his youngest
he will set up its gates.”(AL)
27 So the Lord was with Joshua,(AM) and his fame spread(AN) throughout the land.

The Destruction of Jericho
6 Now (A)Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel; none went out, and none came in. 2 And the Lord said to Joshua: “See! (B)I have given Jericho into your hand, its (C)king, and the mighty men of valor. 3 You shall march around the city, all you men of war; you shall go all around the city once. This you shall do six days. 4 And seven priests shall bear seven (D)trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city (E)seven times, and (F)the priests shall blow the trumpets. 5 It shall come to pass, when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, that all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the wall of the city will fall down flat. And the people shall go up every man straight before him.”
6 Then Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord.” 7 And he said to the people, “Proceed, and march around the city, and let him who is armed advance before the ark of the Lord.”
8 So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the Lord advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them. 9 The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, (G)and the rear guard came after the ark, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. 10 Now Joshua had commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then you shall shout.” 11 So he had (H)the ark of the Lord circle the city, going around it once. Then they came into the camp and [a]lodged in the camp.
12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, (I)and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. 13 Then seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually and blew with the trumpets. And the armed men went before them. But the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. 14 And the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. So they did six days.
15 But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. 16 And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city! 17 Now the city shall be (J)doomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only (K)Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because (L)she hid the messengers that we sent. 18 And you, (M)by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, (N)and trouble it. 19 But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are [b]consecrated to the Lord; they [c]shall come into the treasury of the Lord.”
20 So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that (O)the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 21 And they (P)utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.
22 But Joshua had said to the two men who had spied out the country, “Go into the harlot’s house, and from there bring out the woman and all that she has, (Q)as you swore to her.” 23 And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, (R)her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. So they brought out all her relatives and left them outside the camp of Israel. 24 But they burned the city and all that was in it with fire. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. 25 And Joshua spared Rahab the harlot, her father’s household, and all that she had. So (S)she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.
26 Then Joshua [d]charged them at that time, saying, (T)“Cursed be the man before the Lord who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates.”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout all the country.
