Joshua 6:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ And when Josue had ended his words, and the seven priests blew the seven trumpets before the ark of the covenant of the Lord,

⁹ And all the armed men went before, the rest of the common people followed the ark, and the sound of the trumpets was heard on all sides.

¹⁰ But Josue had commanded the people, saying: You shall not shout, nor shall your voice be heard, nor any word go out of your mouth: until the day come wherein I shall say to you: Cry, and shout.
