⁶ And Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And he said unto the people, Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rereward came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

¹⁰ And Joshua said, Hereby ye shall know that the living God is among you, and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

¹¹ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth passeth over before you into Jordan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Now therefore take you twelve twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, out of every tribe a man.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And it shall come to pass, as soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of Jordan, that the waters of Jordan shall be cut off from the waters that come down from above; and they shall stand upon an heap.

¹⁴ And it came to pass, when the people removed from their tents, to pass over Jordan, and the priests bearing the ark of the covenant before the people;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And as they that bare the ark were come unto Jordan, and the feet of the priests that bare the ark were dipped in the brim of the water, for Jordan overfloweth all his banks all the time of harvest,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ That the waters which came down from above stood and rose up upon an heap very far from the city Adam, that is beside Zaretan: and those that came down toward the sea of the plain, even the salt sea, failed, and were cut off: and the people passed over right against Jericho.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD stood firm on dry ground in the midst of Jordan, and all the Israelites passed over on dry ground, until all the people were passed clean over Jordan.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And it came to pass, when the priests that bare the ark of the covenant of the LORD were come up out of the midst of Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place, and flowed over all his banks, as they did before.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, Ye shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall ye shout.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about it once: once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And 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 rereward came after the ark of the LORD, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And the second day they compassed the city once, once, and returned into the camp: so they did six days.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for the LORD hath given you the city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And ye, in any wise keep yourselves from the accursed thing, lest ye make yourselves accursed, when ye take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ But all the silver, and gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated unto the LORD: they shall come into the treasury of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.
