Dual Panel1Now Jericho<3405> was tightly<5462> shut<5462> because<4480><6440> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>; no<369> one<369> went<3318> out and no<369> one<369> came<935> in.
2The LORD<3068> said<559> to Joshua<3091>, "See<7200>, I have given<5414> Jericho<3405> into your hand<3027>, with its king<4428> and the valiant<2428> warriors<1368>.
3"You shall march<5437> around<5437> the city<5892>, all<3605> the men<376> of war<4421> circling<5362> the city<5892> once<259><6471>. You shall do<6213> so<3541> for six<8337> days<3117>.
4"Also seven<7651> priests<3548> shall carry<5375> seven<7651> trumpets<7782> of rams'<3104> horns<3104> before<6440> the ark<727>; then on the seventh<7637> day<3117> you shall march<5437> around<5437> the city<5892> seven<7651> times<6471>, and the priests<3548> shall blow<8628> the trumpets<7782>.
5"It shall be that when they make<4900> a long<4900> blast<4900> with the ram's<3104> horn<7161>, and when you hear<8085> the sound<6963> of the trumpet<7782>, all<3605> the people<5971> shall shout<7321> with a great<1419> shout<8643>; and the wall<2346> of the city<5892> will fall<5307> down<5307> flat<8478>, and the people<5971> will go<5927> up every<376> man<376> straight<5048> ahead<5048>."
6So Joshua<3091> the son<1121> of Nun<5126> called<7121> the priests<3548> and said<559> to them, "Take<5375> up the ark<727> of the covenant<1285>, and let seven<7651> priests<3548> carry<5375> seven<7651> trumpets<7782> of rams'<3104> horns<3104> before<6440> the ark<727> of the LORD<3068>."
7Then he said<559> to the people<5971>, "Go<5674> forward<5674>, and march<5437> around<5437> the city<5892>, and let the armed<2502> men go<5674> on before<6440> the ark<727> of the LORD<3068>."
8And it was so, that when Joshua<3091> had spoken<559> to the people<5971>, the seven<7651> priests<3548> carrying<5375> the seven<7651> trumpets<7782> of rams'<3104> horns<3104> before<6440> the LORD<3068> went<5674> forward<5674> and blew<8628> the trumpets<7782>; and the ark<727> of the covenant<1285> of the LORD<3068> followed<1980><310> them.
9The armed<2502> men went<1980> before<6440> the priests<3548> who blew<8628> the trumpets<7782>, and the rear<622> guard<622> came<1980> after<310> the ark<727>, while they continued<1980> to blow<8628> the trumpets<7782>.
10But Joshua<3091> commanded<6680> the people<5971>, saying<559>, "You shall not shout<7321> nor<3808> let your voice<6963> be heard<8085> nor<3808> let a word<1697> proceed<3318> out of your mouth<6310>, until<5704> the day<3117> I tell<559> you, 'Shout<7321>!' Then you shall shout<7321>!"
11So he had the ark<727> of the LORD<3068> taken<5437> around<5437> the city<5892>, circling<5362> it once<259><6471>; then they came<935> into the camp<4264> and spent<3885> the night<3885> in the camp<4264>.
12Now Joshua<3091> rose<7925> early<7925> in the morning<1242>, and the priests<3548> took<5375> up the ark<727> of the LORD<3068>.
13The seven<7651> priests<3548> carrying<5375> the seven<7651> trumpets<7782> of rams'<3104> horns<3104> before<6440> the ark<727> of the LORD<3068> went<1980> on continually<1980>, and blew<8628> the trumpets<7782>; and the armed<2502> men went<1980> before<6440> them and the rear<622> guard<622> came<1980> after<310> the ark<727> of the LORD<3068>, while they continued<1980> to blow<8628> the trumpets<7782>.
14Thus the second<8145> day<3117> they marched<5437> around<5437> the city<5892> once<259><6471> and returned<7725> to the camp<4264>; they did<6213> so<3541> for six<8337> days<3117>.
15Then on the seventh<7637> day<3117> they rose<7925> early<7925> at the dawning<7837> of the day<7837> and marched<5437> around<5437> the city<5892> in the same<2088> manner<4941> seven<7651> times<6471>; only<7534> on that day<3117> they marched<5437> around<5437> the city<5892> seven<7651> times<6471>.
16At the seventh<7637> time<6471>, when the priests<3548> blew<8628> the trumpets<7782>, Joshua<3091> said<559> to the people<5971>, "Shout<7321>! For the LORD<3068> has given<5414> you the city<5892>.
17"The city<5892> shall be under<2764> the ban<2764>, it and all<3605> that is in it belongs to the LORD<3068>; only<7534> Rahab<7343> the harlot<2181> and all<3605> who<834> are with her in the house<1004> shall live<2421>, because<3588> she hid<2244> the messengers<4397> whom<834> we sent<7971>.
18"But as for you, only<7534> keep<8104> yourselves from the things<2764> under<2764> the ban<2764>, so<6435> that you do not covet<2763> them and take<3947> some<4480> of the things<2764> under<2764> the ban<2764>, and make<7760> the camp<4264> of Israel<3478> accursed<2764> and bring<5916> trouble<5916> on it.
19"But all<3605> the silver<3701> and gold<2091> and articles<3627> of bronze<5178> and iron<1270> are holy<6944> to the LORD<3068>; they shall go<935> into the treasury<214> of the LORD<3068>."
20So the people<5971> shouted<7321>, and priests blew<8628> the trumpets<7782>; and when the people<5971> heard<8085> the sound<6963> of the trumpet<7782>, the people<5971> shouted<7321> with a great<1419> shout<8643> and the wall<2346> fell<5307> down<5307> flat<8478>, so that the people<5971> went<5927> up into the city<5892>, every<376> man<376> straight<5048> ahead<5048>, and they took<3920> the city<5892>.
21They utterly<2763> destroyed<2763> everything<3605> in the city<5892>, both<4480><5704> man<376> and woman<802>, young<5288> and old<2205>, and ox<7794> and sheep<7716> and donkey<2543>, with the edge<6310> of the sword<2719>.
22Joshua<3091> said<559> to the two<8147> men<376> who had spied<7270> out the land<776>, "Go<935> into the harlot's<802><2181> house<1004> and bring<3318> the woman<802> and all<3605> she has out of there<8033>, as you have sworn<7650> to her."
23So the young<5288> men<5288> who were spies<7270> went<935> in and brought<3318> out Rahab<7343> and her father<1> and her mother<517> and her brothers<251> and all<3605> she had; they also brought<3318> out all<3605> her relatives<4940> and placed<5117> them outside<4480><2351> the camp<4264> of Israel<3478>.
24They burned<8313> the city<5892> with fire<784>, and all<3605> that was in it. Only<7534> the silver<3701> and gold<2091>, and articles<3627> of bronze<5178> and iron<1270>, they put<5414> into the treasury<214> of the house<1004> of the LORD<3068>.
25However, Rahab<7343> the harlot<2181> and her father's<1> household<1004> and all<3605> she had, Joshua<3091> spared<2421>; and she has lived<3427> in the midst<7130> of Israel<3478> to this<2088> day<3117>, for she hid<2244> the messengers<4397> whom<834> Joshua<3091> sent<7971> to spy<7270> out Jericho<3405>.
26Then Joshua<3091> made them take<7650> an oath<7650> at that time<6256>, saying<559>, "Cursed<779> before<6440> the LORD<3068> is the man<376> who<834> rises<6965> up and builds<1129> this<2088> city<5892> Jericho<3405>; with the loss of his firstborn<1060> he shall lay<3245> its foundation<3245>, and with the loss of his youngest<6810> son<6810> he shall set<5324> up its gates<1817>."
27So the LORD<3068> was with Joshua<3091>, and his fame<8089> was in all<3605> the land<776>.
