All ye therefore that be men of war, shall compass the city, in going round about the city [a]once: thus shall you do six days:

And seven Priests shall bear seven trumpets of [b]rams’ horns before the Ark: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the Priests shall blow with the trumpets,

And when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout: then shall the wall of the city fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up, every man straight before him.
