Joshua 6:7-9
New English Translation
7 And he told[a] the army,[b] “Move ahead[c] and march around the city, with armed troops going ahead of the ark of the Lord.”
8 When Joshua gave the army its orders,[d] the seven priests carrying the seven rams’ horns before the Lord moved ahead and blew the horns as the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed behind. 9 Armed troops marched ahead of the priests blowing the horns, while the rear guard followed along behind the ark blowing rams’ horns.
