You shall march round the city, all the men of war going round the city once. Thus shall you do for six days. Seven priests shall bear seven (A)trumpets of (B)rams' horns before the ark. On the seventh day you shall march round the city seven times, and (C)the priests shall blow the trumpets. And when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, when you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the wall of the city will fall down flat,[a] and the people shall go up, everyone straight before him.”
