1: Now JerichoH3405 was straightlyH5462 and was securely shut upH5462 becauseH6440 of the sonsH1121 of Israel-H3478 noneH0369 went out,H3318 and noneH0369 came in.H0935

2: And saidH0559 YahwehH3068 toH0413 Joshua,H3091 See,H7200 I have givenH5414 into your handH3027 -H0853 Jericho,H3405 andH0853 its kingH4428 mightyH1368 [and] the men of valor.H2428

3: And You shall march aroundH5437 -H0853 the city,H5892 allH3605 [you] menH0376 of war,H4421 you shall go all aroundH5362 -H0853 the cityH5892 timeH6471 one.H0259 ThisH3541 you shall doH6213 sixH8337 days.H3117

4: And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 shall bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' horns-H3104 beforeH6440 the arkH0727 but the dayH3117 seventhH7637 you shall march aroundH5437 -H0853 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 times,H6471 and the priestsH3548 shall blowH8628 the trumpets.H7782

5: And it shall come to pass,H1961 when they make a long [blast]H4900 with horn,H7161 of the ramH3104 [and] when you hearH8085 -H0853 the soundH6963 of the trumpet,H7782 that shall shoutH7321 allH3605 the peopleH5971 shout-H8643 with a greatH1419 then shall fall downH5307 the wallH2346 of the cityH5892 flat,H8478 and will go upH5927 the peopleH5971 every manH0376 straight before him.H5048

6: And calledH7121 JoshuaH3091 sonH1121 of NunH5126 toH0413 the priests,H3548 and saidH0559 to themH0413 take upH5375 -H0853 the arkH0727 of the covenant,H1285 and sevenH7651 priestsH3548 let bearH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH0727 of Yahweh.H3068 he saidH0559 toH0413 the people,H5971 Proceed,H5674 and march aroundH5437 -H0853 the city,H5892 and let him who is armedH2502 advanceH5674 beforeH6440 the arkH0727 of Yahweh.H3068

8: So it was,H1961 when had spokenH0559 JoshuaH3091 toH0413 the people,H5971 that sevenH7651 the priestsH3548 bearingH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of the rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 advancedH5674 and blewH8628 the trumpets-H7782 and the arkH0727 of the covenantH1285 of YahwehH3068 followedH1980 them.H0310

9: And the armed menH2502 wentH1980 beforeH6440 the priestsH3548 who blewH8628 the trumpets,H7782 and the rear guardH0622 cameH1980 afterH0310 the ark,H0727 while [the priests] continued,H1980 and blowingH8628 the trumpets.H7782

10: NowH0853 the people,H5971 had commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091 saying,H0559 notH3808 You shall shout,H7321 orH3808 make any noiseH8085 withH0853 your voice,H6963 norH3808 shall proceed outH3318 of your mouth,H6310 a wordH1697 untilH5704 the dayH3117 I sayH0559 to youH0413 Shout-H7321 and you shall shout.H7321

11: So he had circleH5437 the arkH0727 of YahwehH3068 -H0853 the city,H5892 going around [it]H5362 timeH6471 one-H0259 and they came intoH0935 the camp,H4264 and lodgedH3885 in the camp.H4264

12: And rose earlyH7925 JoshuaH3091 in the morning,H1242 and took upH5375 the priestsH3548 -H0853 the arkH0727 of Yahweh.H3068

13: And sevenH7651 priestsH3548 bearingH5375 sevenH7651 trumpetsH7782 of rams' hornsH3104 beforeH6440 the arkH0727 of YahwehH3068 went onH1980 continually,H1980 and blewH8628 with the trumpets-H7782 and the armed menH2502 wentH1980 before themH6440 but the rear guardH0622 cameH1980 afterH0310 the arkH0727 of Yahweh,H3068 while [the priests] continued,H1980 and blowingH8628 the trumpets.H7782

14: And they marched aroundH5437 -H0853 the cityH5892 the dayH3117 secondH8145 timeH6471 one,H0259 and returnedH7725 to the camp-H4264 soH3541 they didH6213 sixH8337 days.H3117

15: But it came to passH1961 on the day,H3117 seventhH7637 that they rose earlyH7925 about the dawning,H7837 of the dayH7837 and marched aroundH5437 -H0853 the cityH5892 in the mannerH4941 thisH2088 sevenH7651 times-H6471 onlyH7535 On dayH3117 thatH1931 they marched aroundH5437 -H0853 the cityH5892 sevenH7651 times.H6471

16: And when it came to passH1961 the time,H6471 seventhH7637 blewH8628 the priestsH3548 the trumpets,H7782 that saidH0559 JoshuaH3091 toH0413 the people,H5971 Shout-H7321 forH3588 has givenH5414 YahwehH3068 -H0853 the city.H5892

17: And shall beH1961 the cityH5892 doomed to destruction,H2764 it,H1931 and allH3605 whoH0834 by Yahweh-H3068 onlyH7535 RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 shall live,H2421 sheH1931 and allH3605 who [are]H0834 with herH0854 in the house,H1004 becauseH3588 she hidH2244 -H0853 the messengersH4397 thatH0834 we sent.H7971

18: And by all meansH7535 you,H0859 abstainH8104 fromH4480 the accursed things,H2764 lestH6435 you become accursed,H2763 and when you takeH3947 ofH4480 the accursed things,H2764 and makeH7760 -H0853 the campH4264 of IsraelH3478 a curse,H2764 and troubleH5916 it.H0853

19: But allH3605 the silver,H3701 and gold,H2091 and vesselsH3627 of bronzeH5178 and iron,H1270 consecratedH6944 areH1931 to Yahweh-H3068 into the treasuryH0214 of YahwehH3068 they shall come.H0935

20: So shoutedH7321 the peopleH5971 and when [the priests] blewH8628 the trumpets-H7782 and it came to pass,H1961 when heardH8085 the peopleH5971 -H0853 the soundH6963 of the trumpet,H7782 and shouted withH7321 the peopleH5971 a shout,H8643 greatH1419 that fell downH5307 the wallH2346 flat,H8478 and went upH5927 the peopleH5971 into the city,H5892 every manH0376 straight before himH5048 and they tookH3920 -H0853 the city.H5892

21: And they utterly destroyedH2763 -H0853 allH3605 that [was]H0834 in the city,H5892 from manH0376 and toH5704 woman,H0802 youngH5288 andH5704 old,H2205 andH5704 ox,H7794 and sheep,H7716 and donkey,H2543 with the edgeH6310 of the sword.H2719

22: But to twoH8147 the menH0582 who had spied outH7270 -H0853 the country,H0776 had saidH0559 JoshuaH3091 go intoH0935 house,H1004 the women,H0802 of the harlotH2181 and bring outH3318 from thereH8033 -H0853 the womanH0802 andH0853 allH3605 thatH0834 asH0834 you sworeH7650

23: And went in,H0935 the young menH5288 who had been spiesH7270 and brought outH3318 -H0853 Rahab,H7343 andH0853 her father,H0001 andH0853 her mother,H0517 andH0853 her brothers,H0251 andH0853 allH3605 thatH0834 soH0853 allH3605 her relatives,H4940 they brought outH3318 and left themH3240 outsideH2351 the campH4264 of Israel.H3478

24: But the cityH5892 they burnedH8313 with fire,H0784 and allH3605 that [was]H0834 onlyH7535 the silver,H3701 and gold,H2091 and the vesselsH3627 of bronzeH5178 and iron,H1270 they putH5414 into the treasuryH0214 of the house ofH1004 Yahweh.H3068

25: AndH0853 RahabH7343 the harlotH2181 andH0853 household,H1004 of her fatherH0001 andH0853 allH3605 thatH0834 sparedH2421 JoshuaH3091 so she dwellsH3427 inH7130 IsraelH3478 toH5704 day-H3117 thisH2088 becauseH3588 she hidH2244 -H0853 the messengers,H4397 whomH0834 sentH7971 JoshuaH3091 to spy outH7270 -H0853 Jericho.H3405

26: And charged [them]H7650 JoshuaH3091 at time,H6256 thatH1931 saying,H0559 Cursed [be]H0779 the manH0376 beforeH6440 Yahweh,H3068 whoH0834 rises upH6965 and buildsH1129 -H0853 cityH5892 thisH2063 -H0853 Jericho-H3405 with his firstborn,H1060 he shall lay its foundationH3245 and with his youngestH6810 shall he set upH5324 its gates.H1817

27: So wasH1961 YahwehH3068 withH0854 Joshua-H3091 and spreadH1961 his fameH8089 throughout allH3605 the country.H0776
