1 Now Jericho * h3405 was straitly * h5462 h8802 shut up * h5462 h8794 because * h6440 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478: none went out * h3318 h8802, and none came in * h935 h8802. was...: Heb. did shut up, and was shut up
2 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Joshua * h3091, See * h7200 h8798, I have given * h5414 h8804 into thine hand * h3027 Jericho * h3405, and the king * h4428 thereof, and the mighty men * h1368 of valour * h2428.
3 And ye shall compass * h5437 h8804 the city * h5892, all ye men * h582 of war * h4421, and go round about * h5362 h8687 the city * h5892 once * h6471 * h259. Thus shalt thou do * h6213 h8799 six * h8337 days * h3117.
4 And seven * h7651 priests * h3548 shall bear * h5375 h8799 before * h6440 the ark * h727 seven * h7651 trumpets * h7782 of rams' horns * h3104: and the seventh * h7637 day * h3117 ye shall compass * h5437 h8799 the city * h5892 seven * h7651 times * h6471, and the priests * h3548 shall blow * h8628 h8799 with the trumpets * h7782.
5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long * h4900 h8800 blast with the ram's * h3104 horn * h7161, and when ye hear * h8085 h8800 the sound * h6963 of the trumpet * h7782, all the people * h5971 shall shout * h7321 h8686 with a great * h1419 shout * h8643; and the wall * h2346 of the city * h5892 shall fall down * h5307 h8804 flat * h8478, and the people * h5971 shall ascend up * h5927 h8804 every man * h376 straight before him. flat: Heb. under it
6 And Joshua * h3091 the son * h1121 of Nun * h5126 called * h7121 h8799 the priests * h3548, and said * h559 h8799 unto them, Take up * h5375 h8798 the ark * h727 of the covenant * h1285, and let seven * h7651 priests * h3548 bear * h5375 h8799 seven * h7651 trumpets * h7782 of rams' horns * h3104 before * h6440 the ark * h727 of the LORD * h3068.
7 And he said * h559 h8799 unto the people * h5971, Pass on * h5674 h8798, and compass * h5437 h8798 the city * h5892, and let him that is armed * h2502 h8803 pass on * h5674 h8799 before * h6440 the ark * h727 of the LORD * h3068.
8 And it came to pass, when Joshua * h3091 had spoken * h559 h8800 unto the people * h5971, that the seven * h7651 priests * h3548 bearing * h5375 h8802 the seven * h7651 trumpets * h7782 of rams' horns * h3104 passed on * h5674 h8804 before * h6440 the LORD * h3068, and blew * h8628 h8804 with the trumpets * h7782: and the ark * h727 of the covenant * h1285 of the LORD * h3068 followed * h1980 h8802 them * h310.
9 And the armed * h2502 h8803 men went * h1980 h8802 before * h6440 the priests * h3548 that blew * h8628 h8802 h8675 * h8628 h8804 with the trumpets * h7782, and the rereward * h622 h8764 came * h1980 h8802 after * h310 the ark * h727, the priests going on * h1980 h8800, and blowing * h8628 h8800 with the trumpets * h7782. rereward: Heb. gathering host
10 And Joshua * h3091 had commanded * h6680 h8765 the people * h5971, saying * h559 h8800, Ye shall not shout * h7321 h8686, nor make any noise * h8085 h8686 with your voice * h6963, neither shall any word * h1697 proceed * h3318 h8799 out of your mouth * h6310, until the day * h3117 I bid * h559 h8800 you shout * h7321 h8685; then shall ye shout * h7321 h8689. any noise...: Heb. your voice to be heard
11 So the ark * h727 of the LORD * h3068 compassed * h5437 h8686 the city * h5892, going about * h5362 h8687 it once * h6471 * h259: and they came * h935 h8799 into the camp * h4264, and lodged * h3885 h8799 in the camp * h4264.
12 And Joshua * h3091 rose early * h7925 h8686 in the morning * h1242, and the priests * h3548 took up * h5375 h8799 the ark * h727 of the LORD * h3068.
13 And seven * h7651 priests * h3548 bearing * h5375 h8802 seven * h7651 trumpets * h7782 of rams' horns * h3104 before * h6440 the ark * h727 of the LORD * h3068 went on * h1980 h8802 continually * h1980 h8800, and blew * h8628 h8804 with the trumpets * h7782: and the armed men * h2502 h8803 went * h1980 h8802 before * h6440 them; but the rereward * h622 h8764 came * h1980 h8802 after * h310 the ark * h727 of the LORD * h3068, the priests going on * h1980 h8800, and blowing * h8628 h8800 with the trumpets * h7782.
14 And the second * h8145 day * h3117 they compassed * h5437 h8799 the city * h5892 once * h6471 * h259, and returned * h7725 h8799 into the camp * h4264: so they did * h6213 h8804 six * h8337 days * h3117.
15 And it came to pass on the seventh * h7637 day * h3117, that they rose early * h7925 h8686 about the dawning * h5927 h8800 of the day * h7837, and compassed * h5437 h8799 the city * h5892 after the same manner * h4941 seven * h7651 times * h6471: only on that day * h3117 they compassed * h5437 h8804 the city * h5892 seven * h7651 times * h6471.
16 And it came to pass at the seventh * h7637 time * h6471, when the priests * h3548 blew * h8628 h8804 with the trumpets * h7782, Joshua * h3091 said * h559 h8799 unto the people * h5971, Shout * h7321 h8685; for the LORD * h3068 hath given * h5414 h8804 you the city * h5892.
17 And the city * h5892 shall be accursed * h2764, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD * h3068: only Rahab * h7343 the harlot * h2181 h8802 shall live * h2421 h8799, she and all that are with her in the house * h1004, because she hid * h2244 h8689 the messengers * h4397 that we sent * h7971 h8804. accursed: or, devoted
18 And ye, in any wise * h7535 keep * h8104 h8798 yourselves from the accursed thing * h2764, lest ye make yourselves accursed * h2763 h8686, when ye take * h3947 h8804 of the accursed thing * h2764, and make * h7760 h8804 the camp * h4264 of Israel * h3478 a curse * h2764, and trouble * h5916 h8804 it. accursed: or, devoted a curse: or, devoted
19 But all the silver * h3701, and gold * h2091, and vessels * h3627 of brass * h5178 and iron * h1270, are consecrated * h6944 unto the LORD * h3068: they shall come * h935 h8799 into the treasury * h214 of the LORD * h3068. consecrated: Heb. holiness
20 So the people * h5971 shouted * h7321 h8686 when the priests blew * h8628 h8799 with the trumpets * h7782: and it came to pass, when the people * h5971 heard * h8085 h8800 the sound * h6963 of the trumpet * h7782, and the people * h5971 shouted * h7321 h8686 with a great * h1419 shout * h8643, that the wall * h2346 fell down flat * h5307 h8799, so that the people * h5971 went up * h5927 h8799 into the city * h5892, every man * h376 straight before him, and they took * h3920 h8799 the city * h5892. flat: Heb. under it
21 And they utterly destroyed * h2763 h8686 all that was in the city * h5892, both man * h376 and woman * h802, young * h5288 and old * h2205, and ox * h7794, and sheep * h7716, and ass * h2543, with the edge * h6310 of the sword * h2719.
22 But Joshua * h3091 had said * h559 h8804 unto the two * h8147 men * h582 that had spied out * h7270 h8764 the country * h776, Go * h935 h8798 into the harlot's * h2181 h8802 house * h1004, and bring out * h3318 h8685 thence the woman * h802, and all that she hath, as ye sware * h7650 h8738 unto her.
23 And the young men * h5288 that were spies * h7270 h8764 went in * h935 h8799, and brought out * h3318 h8686 Rahab * h7343, and her father * h1, and her mother * h517, and her brethren * h251, and all that she had; and they brought out * h3318 h8689 all her kindred * h4940, and left * h3240 h8686 them without * h2351 the camp * h4264 of Israel * h3478. kindred: Heb. families
24 And they burnt * h8313 h8804 the city * h5892 with fire * h784, and all that was therein: only the silver * h3701, and the gold * h2091, and the vessels * h3627 of brass * h5178 and of iron * h1270, they put * h5414 h8804 into the treasury * h214 of the house * h1004 of the LORD * h3068.
25 And Joshua * h3091 saved * h2421 Rahab * h7343 the harlot * h2181 h8802 alive * h2421 h8689, and her father's * h1 household * h1004, and all that she had; and she dwelleth * h3427 h8799 in * h7130 Israel * h3478 even unto this day * h3117; because she hid * h2244 h8689 the messengers * h4397, which Joshua * h3091 sent * h7971 h8804 to spy out * h7270 h8763 Jericho * h3405.
26 And Joshua * h3091 adjured * h7650 h8686 them at that time * h6256, saying * h559 h8800, Cursed * h779 h8803 be the man * h376 before * h6440 the LORD * h3068, that riseth up * h6965 h8799 and buildeth * h1129 h8804 this city * h5892 Jericho * h3405: he shall lay the foundation * h3245 h8762 thereof in his firstborn * h1060, and in his youngest * h6810 son shall he set up * h5324 h8686 the gates * h1817 of it.
27 So the LORD * h3068 was with Joshua * h3091; and his fame * h8089 was noised throughout all the country * h776.
