Joshua 6:7-9

English Standard Version

⁷ And he said to the people, “Go forward. March around the city and let ^(A)the armed men pass on before the ark of the Lord.”

⁸ And just as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the Lord went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the Lord following them. ⁹ The armed men were walking before the priests who were blowing the trumpets, and the ^(B)rear guard was walking after the ark, while the trumpets blew continually.
