THE CITY COMPASSED SIX DAYS. (Jos 6:8-19)
the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets . . . passed on before the Lord--before the ark, called "the ark of the covenant," for it contained the tables on which the covenant was inscribed. The procession was made in deep and solemn silence, conforming to the instructions given to the people by their leader at the outset, that they were to refrain from all acclamation and noise of any kind until he should give them a signal. It must have been a strange sight; no mound was raised, no sword drawn, no engine planted, no pioneers undermining--here were armed men, but no stroke given; they must walk and not fight. Doubtless the people of Jericho made themselves merry with the spectacle [BISHOP HALL]. |
8 And it came to pass, when Joshua [03091] had spoken [0559] unto the people [05971], that the seven [07651] priests [03548] bearing [05375] the seven [07651] trumpets [07782] of rams' horns [03104] passed on [05674] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and blew [08628] with the trumpets [07782]: and the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the LORD [03068] followed [01980] them [0310].
9 And the armed [02502] men went [01980] before [06440] the priests [03548] that blew [08628] [08628] with the trumpets [07782], and the rereward [0622] came [01980] after [0310] the ark [0727], the priests going on [01980], and blowing [08628] with the trumpets [07782].
10 And Joshua [03091] had commanded [06680] the people [05971], saying [0559], Ye shall not shout [07321], nor make any noise [08085] with your voice [06963], neither shall any word [01697] proceed [03318] out of your mouth [06310], until the day [03117] I bid [0559] you shout [07321]; then shall ye shout [07321].
11 So the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] compassed [05437] the city [05892], going about [05362] it once [06471] [0259]: and they came [0935] into the camp [04264], and lodged [03885] in the camp [04264].
12 And Joshua [03091] rose early [07925] in the morning [01242], and the priests [03548] took up [05375] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068].
13 And seven [07651] priests [03548] bearing [05375] seven [07651] trumpets [07782] of rams' horns [03104] before [06440] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068] went on [01980] continually [01980], and blew [08628] with the trumpets [07782]: and the armed men [02502] went [01980] before [06440] them; but the rereward [0622] came [01980] after [0310] the ark [0727] of the LORD [03068], the priests going on [01980], and blowing [08628] with the trumpets [07782].
14 And the second [08145] day [03117] they compassed [05437] the city [05892] once [06471] [0259], and returned [07725] into the camp [04264]: so they did [06213] six [08337] days [03117].
15 And it came to pass on the seventh [07637] day [03117], that they rose early [07925] about the dawning [05927] of the day [07837], and compassed [05437] the city [05892] after the same manner [04941] seven [07651] times [06471]: only on that day [03117] they compassed [05437] the city [05892] seven [07651] times [06471].
16 And it came to pass at the seventh [07637] time [06471], when the priests [03548] blew [08628] with the trumpets [07782], Joshua [03091] said [0559] unto the people [05971], Shout [07321]; for the LORD [03068] hath given [05414] you the city [05892].
17 And the city [05892] shall be accursed [02764], even it, and all that are therein, to the LORD [03068]: only Rahab [07343] the harlot [02181] shall live [02421], she and all that are with her in the house [01004], because she hid [02244] the messengers [04397] that we sent [07971].
18 And ye, in any wise [07535] keep [08104] yourselves from the accursed thing [02764], lest ye make yourselves accursed [02763], when ye take [03947] of the accursed thing [02764], and make [07760] the camp [04264] of Israel [03478] a curse [02764], and trouble [05916] it.
19 But all the silver [03701], and gold [02091], and vessels [03627] of brass [05178] and iron [01270], are consecrated [06944] unto the LORD [03068]: they shall come [0935] into the treasury [0214] of the LORD [03068].
