And the people did as the Lord commanded. On the first day they marchedaround the city once, and after them came the priests that blew on the trumpets.Then followed the priests who carried the ark. On the second day they marchedaround the city again. So they did for six days. But on the seventh day theyrose up early, before it was light, and marched around the city seven times.The last time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, Joshua said to thechildren of Israel, Shout, for the Lord has given you the city.
