Joshua 6:6-8

New English Translation

⁶ So Joshua son of Nun summoned the priests and instructed them, “Pick up the ark of the covenant, and seven priests must carry seven rams’ horns in front of the ark of the Lord.” ⁷ And he told^[a] the army,^[b] “Move ahead^[c] and march around the city, with armed troops going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”

⁸ When Joshua gave the army its orders,^[d] the seven priests carrying the seven rams’ horns before the Lord moved ahead and blew the horns as the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed behind.
