4 Take along the sacred chest and tell seven priests to walk in front of it, carrying trumpets.[a]
But on the seventh day, march slowly around the town seven times while the priests blow their trumpets. 5 Then the priests will blast on their trumpets, and everyone else will shout. The wall will fall down, and your soldiers can go straight in from every side.
6 Joshua called the priests together and said, “Take the chest and tell seven priests to carry trumpets and march ahead of it.”
