1 Now Jericho was closed as well as fortified, out of fear of the sons of Israel, and no one dared to depart or to enter.
2 And the Lord said to Joshua: "Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and all the strong men.
3 Have all the warriors circle the city once each day; you shall do so for six days.
4 Then, on the seventh day, the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which are used on the jubilee, and they shall precede the ark of the covenant. And you shall circle the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
