← Joshua 6:3	Joshua 6:4 (KJV)	Joshua 6:5 →
And ye shall compass the city, all [ye] men of war, [and] go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.	And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.	And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long [blast] with the ram's horn, [and] when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
