Joshua 6:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ On the seventh day, the army got up at daybreak. They marched slowly around Jericho the same as they had done for the past six days, except on this day they went around seven times. ¹⁶ Then the priests blew the trumpets, and Joshua yelled:

Get ready to shout! The Lord will let you capture this town. ¹⁷ But you must destroy it and everything in it, to show that it now belongs to the Lord.^[a] The woman Rahab helped the spies we sent,^[b] so protect her and the others who are inside her house. But kill everyone else in the town.
