1 N ow JerichoH3405 was straitlyH5462 shut upH5462 becauseH6440 of the childrenH1121 of Israel:H3478 none went out,H3318 and none came in.H935
2 And JehovahH3068 saidH559 unto Joshua,H3091 See,H7200 I have givenH5414 into thy handH3027 Jericho,H3405 and the kingH4428 thereof, and the mighty menH1368 of valor.H2428
3 And ye shall compassH5437 the city,H5892 all the menH582 of war,H4421 going aboutH5362 the cityH5892 once.H6471 Thus shalt thou doH6213 sixH8337 days.H3117
4 And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 shall bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the ark:H727 and the seventhH7637 dayH3117 ye shall compassH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 times,H6471 and the priestsH3548 shall blowH8628 the trumpets.H7782
5 And it shall be, that, when they make a longH4900 blast with the ram'sH3104 horn,H7161 and when ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpet,H7782 all the peopleH5971 shall shoutH7321 with a greatH1419 shout;H7321 and the wallH2346 of the cityH5892 shall fall downH5307 flat,H8478 and the peopleH5971 shall go upH5927 every manH376 straight before him.
6 And JoshuaH3091 the sonH1121 of NunH5126 calledH7121 the priests,H3548 and saidH559 unto them, Take upH5375 the arkH727 of the covenant,H1285 and let sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of Jehovah.H3068
7 And they saidH559 unto the people,H5971 Pass on,H5674 and compassH5437 the city,H5892 and let the armedH2502 men pass onH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of Jehovah.H3068
8 And it was so, that, when JoshuaH3091 had spokenH559 unto the people,H5971 the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 JehovahH3068 passed on,H5674 and blewH8628 the trumpets:H7782 and the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of JehovahH3068 followedH1980 them.H310
9 And the armedH2502 men wentH1980 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 that blewH8628 the trumpets,H7782 and the rearwardH622 wentH1980 afterH310 the ark,H727 [the priests] blowingH8628 the trumpetsH7782 as they went.H1980
10 And JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680 the people,H5971 saying,H559 Ye shall not shout,H7321 nor let your voiceH6963 be heard,H8085 neither shall any wordH1697 proceedH3318 out of your mouth,H6310 until the dayH3117 I bidH559 you shout;H7321 then shall ye shout.H7321
11 So he caused the arkH727 of JehovahH3068 to compassH5437 the city,H5892 going aboutH5362 it once:H6471 and they cameH935 into the camp,H4264 and lodgedH3885 in the camp.H4264
12 And JoshuaH3091 rose earlyH7925 in the morning,H1242 and the priestsH3548 took upH5375 the arkH727 of Jehovah.H3068
13 And the sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 the sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH727 of JehovahH3068 went onH1980 continually,H1980 and blewH8628 the trumpets:H7782 and the armed menH2502 wentH1980 beforeH6440 them; and the rearwardH622 cameH1980 afterH310 the arkH727 of Jehovah,H3068 [the priests] blowingH8628 the trumpetsH7782 as they went.H1980
14 And the secondH8145 dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 once,H6471 and returnedH7725 into the camp:H4264 so they didH6213 sixH8337 days.H3117
15 And it came to pass on the seventhH7637 day,H3117 that they rose earlyH7925 at the dawningH5927 of the day,H7837 and compassedH5437 the cityH5892 after the same mannerH4941 sevenH7651 times:H6471 only on that dayH3117 they compassedH5437 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 times.H6471
16 And it came to pass at the seventhH7637 time,H6471 when the priestsH3548 blewH8628 the trumpets,H7782 JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the people,H5971 Shout;H7321 for JehovahH3068 hath givenH5414 you the city.H5892
17 And the cityH5892 shall be devoted,H2764 even it and all that is therein, to Jehovah:H3068 only RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 shall live,H2421 she and all that are with her in the house,H1004 because she hidH2244 the messengersH4397 that we sent.H7971
18 But as for you, onlyH7535 keepH8104 yourselves from the devoted thing,H2764 lest when ye have devotedH2763 it, ye takeH3947 of the devoted thing;H2764 so would ye makeH7760 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 accursed,H2764 and troubleH5916 it.
19 But all the silver,H3701 and gold,H2091 and vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and iron,H1270 are holyH6944 unto Jehovah:H3068 they shall comeH935 into the treasuryH214 of Jehovah.H3068
20 So the peopleH5971 shouted,H7321 and [the priests] blewH8628 the trumpets;H7782 and it came to pass, when the peopleH5971 heardH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpet,H7782 that the peopleH5971 shoutedH7321 with a greatH1419 shout,H8643 and the wallH2346 fell down flat,H5307 so that the peopleH5971 went upH5927 into the city,H5892 every manH376 straight before him, and they tookH3920 the city.H5892
21 And they utterly destroyedH2763 all that was in the city,H5892 both manH376 and woman,H802 both youngH5288 and old,H2205 and ox,H7794 and sheep,H7716 and ass,H2543 with the edgeH6310 of the sword.H2719
22 And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto the twoH8147 menH582 that had spied outH7270 the land,H776 GoH935 into the harlot'sH2181 house,H1004 and bring outH3318 thence the woman,H802 and all that she hath, as ye swareH7650 unto her.
23 And the young menH5288 the spiesH7270 went in,H935 and brought outH3318 Rahab,H7343 and her father,H1 and her mother,H517 and her brethren,H251 and all that she had; all her kindredH4940 also they brought out;H3318 and they setH3240 them withoutH2351 the campH4264 of Israel.H3478
24 And they burntH8313 the cityH5892 with fire,H784 and all that was therein; only the silver,H3701 and the gold,H2091 and the vesselsH3627 of brassH5178 and of iron,H1270 they putH5414 into the treasuryH214 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah.H3068
25 But RahabH7343 the harlot,H2181 and her father'sH1 household,H1004 and all that she had, did JoshuaH3091 saveH2421 alive;H2421 and she dweltH3427 inH7130 the midst of IsraelH3478 unto this day,H3117 because she hidH2244 the messengers,H4397 whom JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 to spy outH7270 Jericho.H3405
26 And JoshuaH3091 chargedH7650 them with an oath at that time,H6256 saying,H559 CursedH779 be the manH376 beforeH6440 Jehovah,H3068 that riseth upH6965 and buildethH1129 this cityH5892 Jericho:H3405 with the loss of his first-bornH1060 shall he lay the foundationH3245 thereof, and with the loss of his youngestH6810 son shall he set upH5324 the gatesH1817 of it.
27 So JehovahH3068 was with Joshua;H3091 and his fameH8089 was in all the land.H776
