Joshua 6:7-9

New International Version

⁷ And he ordered the army, “Advance^(A)! March around the city, with an armed guard going ahead of the ark^(B) of the Lord.”

⁸ When Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests carrying the seven trumpets before the Lord went forward, blowing their trumpets, and the ark of the Lord’s covenant followed them. ⁹ The armed guard marched ahead of the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard^(C) followed the ark. All this time the trumpets were sounding.
