And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Joshua, H3091 See, H7200 I have given H5414 into your hand H3027 Jericho, H3405 and the king H4428 thereof, and the mighty H1368 men of valor. H2428

And seven H7651 priests H3548 shall bear H5375 before H6440 the ark H727 seven H7651 trumpets H7782 of rams' H3104 horns: H3104 and the seventh H7637 day H3117 you shall compass H5437 the city H5892 seven H7651 times, H6471 and the priests H3548 shall blow H8628 with the trumpets. H7782

And Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 called H7121 the priests, H3548 and said H559 to them, Take H5375 up the ark H727 of the covenant, H1285 and let seven H7651 priests H3548 bear H5375 seven H7651 trumpets H7782 of rams' H3104 horns H3104 before H6440 the ark H727 of the LORD. H3068

And it came H1961 to pass, when Joshua H3091 had spoken H559 to the people, H5971 that the seven H7651 priests H3548 bearing H5375 the seven H7651 trumpets H7782 of rams' H3104 horns H3104 passed H5674 on H413 before H6440 the LORD, H3068 and blew H8628 with the trumpets: H7782 and the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 followed H1980 H310 them.

And Joshua H3091 had commanded H6680 the people, H5971 saying, H559 You shall not shout, H7321 nor H3808 make any noise H8085 with your voice, H6963 neither H3808 shall any word H1697 proceed H3318 out of your mouth, H6310 until H5704 the day H3117 I bid H559 you shout; H7321 then shall you shout. H7321

And Joshua H3091 rose H7925 early H7925 in the morning, H1242 and the priests H3548 took H5375 up the ark H727 of the LORD. H3068

And the second H8145 day H3117 they compassed H5437 the city H5892 once, H259 and returned H7725 into the camp: H4264 so H3541 they did H6213 six H8337 days. H3117

And it came H1961 to pass at the seventh H7637 time, H6471 when the priests H3548 blew H8628 with the trumpets, H7782 Joshua H3091 said H559 to the people, H5971 Shout; H7321 for the LORD H3068 has given H5414 you the city. H5892

And you, in any wise keep H8104 yourselves from the accursed H2764 thing, lest H6435 you make yourselves accursed, H2763 when you take H3947 of the accursed H2764 thing, and make H7760 the camp H4264 of Israel H3478 a curse, H2764 and trouble H5916 it.

So the people H5971 shouted H7321 when the priests H3548 blew H8628 with the trumpets: H7782 and it came H1961 to pass, when the people H5971 heard H8085 the sound H6963 of the trumpet, H7782 and the people H5971 shouted H7321 with a great H1419 shout, H8643 that the wall H2346 fell H5307 down flat, H8478 so that the people H5971 went H5927 up into the city, H5892 every man H376 straight before H5048 him, and they took H3920 the city. H5892

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Joshua, H3091 Fear H3372 not, neither H408 be you dismayed: H2865 take H3947 all H3605 the people H5971 of war H4421 with you, and arise, H6965 go H5927 up to Ai: H5857 see, H7200 I have given H5414 into your hand H3027 the king H4428 of Ai, H5857 and his people, H5971 and his city, H5892 and his land: H776

And there was not a man H376 left H7604 in Ai H5857 or Bethel, H1008 that went H3318 not out after H310 Israel: H3478 and they left H5800 the city H5892 open, H6605 and pursued H7291 after Israel. H3478

And the king H4428 of Ai H5857 he hanged H8518 on H5921 a tree H6086 until H5704 eventide: H6256 H6153 and as soon as the sun H8121 was down, H935 Joshua H3091 commanded H6680 that they should take H3381 his carcass H5038 down H3381 from the tree, H6086 and cast H7993 it at H413 the entering H6607 of the gate H8179 of the city, H5892 and raise H6965 thereon H5921 a great H1419 heap H1530 of stones, H68 that remains to this H2088 day. H3117

As Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 as it is written H3789 in the book H5612 of the law H8451 of Moses, H4872 an altar H4196 of whole H8003 stones, H68 over H5921 which H834 no H3808 man has lift H5130 up any iron: H1270 and they offered H5927 thereon H5921 burnt H5930 offerings to the LORD, H3068 and sacrificed H2076 peace H8002 offerings.

And all H3605 Israel, H3478 and their elders, H2205 and officers, H7860 and their judges, H8199 stood H5975 on this H2088 side the ark H727 and on that side before H5048 the priests H3548 the Levites, H3881 which bore H5375 the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD, H3068 as well the stranger, H1616 as he that was born H249 among them; half H2677 of them over H413 against H4136 mount H2022 Gerizim, H1630 and half H2677 of them over H413 H4136 against H4136 mount H2022 Ebal; H5858 as Moses H4872 the servant H5650 of the LORD H3068 had commanded H6680 before, H7223 that they should bless H1288 the people H5971 of Israel. H3478

There was not a word H1697 of all H3605 that Moses H4872 commanded, H6680 which H834 Joshua H3091 read H7121 not before H5048 all H3605 the congregation H6951 of Israel, H3478 with the women, H802 and the little H2945 ones, and the strangers H1616 that were conversant H1980 among H7130 them.
