Joshua 6:15-17
New English Translation

15 On the seventh day they were up at the crack of dawn[a] and marched around the city as before—only this time they marched around it seven times.[b] 16 The seventh time around, the priests blew the rams’ horns, and Joshua told the army,[c] “Give the battle cry,[d] for the Lord is handing the city over to you![e] 17 The city and all that is in it must be set apart for the Lord;[f] only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house will live, because she hid the spies[g] we sent.
