Joshua 6

1 Jericho is shut up. 2 God instructeth Joshua how to besiege it. 11 The city is compassed. 17 It must be cursed. 20 The walls fall down. 22 Rahab is saved. 26 The builder of Jericho is cursed.

 6:1 ¶ Now Jericho 3405 was straitly y5462 z8802 shut up 5462 z8794 because 6440 x4480 of the children 1121 of Israel: 3478 none x369 went out, 3318 z8802 and none x369 came in. 935 z8802

 6:2 And the LORD 3068 said 559 z8799 unto x413 Joshua, 3091 See, 7200 z8798 I have given 5414 z8804 into thine hand 3027 x853 Jericho, 3405 and the king 4428 thereof, [and] the mighty x1368 men y1368 of valor. 2428

 6:3 And ye shall compass 5437 z8804 x853 the city, 5892 all x3605 [ye] men y582 x376 of war, 4421 [and] go round about 5362 z8687 x853 the city 5892 once. 6471 259 Thus x3541 shalt thou do 6213 z8799 six 8337 days. 3117

 6:4 And seven 7651 priests 3548 shall bear 5375 z8799 before 6440 the ark 727 seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' horns: 3104 and the seventh 7637 day 3117 ye shall compass 5437 z8799 x853 the city 5892 seven 7651 times, 6471 and the priests 3548 shall blow 8628 z8799 with the trumpets. 7782

 6:5 And it shall come to pass, x1961 that when they make a long y4900 z8800 blast x4900 with the ram's 3104 horn, 7161 [and] when ye hear 8085 z8800 x853 the sound 6963 of the trumpet, 7782 all x3605 the people 5971 shall shout 7321 z8686 with a great 1419 shout; 8643 and the wall 2346 of the city 5892 shall fall down 5307 z8804 flat, 8478 and the people 5971 shall ascend up 5927 z8804 every man 376 straight before x5048 him.

 6:6 ¶ And Joshua 3091 the son 1121 of Nun 5126 called 7121 z8799 x413 the priests, 3548 and said 559 z8799 unto x413 them, Take up 5375 z8798 x853 the ark 727 of the covenant, 1285 and let x5375 seven 7651 priests 3548 bear 5375 z8799 seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' horns 3104 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD. 3068

 6:7 And he said 559 z8799 unto x413 the people, 5971 Pass on, 5674 z8798 and compass 5437 z8798 x853 the city, 5892 and let him that is armed 2502 z8803 pass on 5674 z8799 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD. 3068

 6:8 ¶ And it came to pass, x1961 when Joshua 3091 had spoken 559 z8800 unto x413 the people, 5971 that the seven 7651 priests 3548 bearing 5375 z8802 the seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' horns 3104 passed on 5674 z8804 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 and blew 8628 z8804 with the trumpets: 7782 and the ark 727 of the covenant 1285 of the LORD 3068 followed 1980 z8802 x310 them. y310

 6:9 ¶ And the armed y2502 z8803 men x2502 went 1980 z8802 before 6440 the priests 3548 that blew 8628 z8802 z8675 z8804 with the trumpets, 7782 and the rearward 622 z8764 came 1980 z8802 after 310 the ark, 727 [the priests] going on, 1980 z8800 and blowing 8628 z8800 with the trumpets. 7782

 6:10 And Joshua 3091 had commanded 6680 z8765 the people, 5971 saying, 559 z8800 Ye shall not x3808 shout, 7321 z8686 nor x3808 make any noise 8085 z8686 with x854 your voice, 6963 neither x3808 shall [any] word 1697 proceed y3318 z8799 out x3318 of your mouth, 6310 x4480 until x5704 the day 3117 I bid 559 z8800 you shout; 7321 z8685 then shall ye shout. 7321 z8689

 6:11 So the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 compassed 5437 z8686 x853 the city, 5892 going about 5362 z8687 [it] once: 6471 259 and they came 935 z8799 into the camp, 4264 and lodged 3885 z8799 in the camp. 4264

 6:12 ¶ And Joshua 3091 rose early 7925 z8686 in the morning, 1242 and the priests 3548 took up 5375 z8799 x853 the ark 727 of the LORD. 3068

 6:13 And seven 7651 priests 3548 bearing 5375 z8802 seven 7651 trumpets 7782 of rams' horns 3104 before 6440 the ark 727 of the LORD 3068 went on y1980 z8802 continually, 1980 z8800 and blew 8628 z8804 with the trumpets: 7782 and the armed men 2502 z8803 went 1980 z8802 before 6440 them; but the rearward 622 z8764 came 1980 z8802 after 310 the ark 727 of the LORD, 3068 [the priests] going on, 1980 z8800 and blowing 8628 z8800 with the trumpets. 7782

 6:14 And the second 8145 day 3117 they compassed 5437 z8799 x853 the city 5892 once, 6471 259 and returned 7725 z8799 into the camp: 4264 so x3541 they did 6213 z8804 six 8337 days. 3117

 6:15 And it came to pass x1961 on the seventh 7637 day, 3117 that they rose early 7925 z8686 about the dawning 5927 z8800 of the day, 7837 and compassed 5437 z8799 x853 the city 5892 after the same x2088 manner 4941 seven 7651 times: 6471 only x7535 on that x2088 day 3117 they compassed 5437 z8804 x853 the city 5892 seven 7651 times. 6471

 6:16 And it came to pass x1961 at the seventh 7637 time, 6471 when the priests 3548 blew 8628 z8804 with the trumpets, 7782 Joshua 3091 said 559 z8799 unto x413 the people, 5971 Shout; 7321 z8685 for x3588 the LORD 3068 hath given 5414 z8804 you x853 the city. 5892

 6:17 ¶ And the city 5892 shall be x1961 accursed, 2764 [even] it, x1931 and all x3605 that x834 [are] therein, to the LORD: 3068 only x7535 Rahab 7343 the harlot 2181 z8802 shall live, 2421 z8799 she x1931 and all x3605 that x834 [are] with x854 her in the house, 1004 because x3588 she hid 2244 z8689 x853 the messengers 4397 that x834 we sent. 7971 z8804

 6:18 And ye, x859 in any wise y7535 x7357 keep 8104 z8798 [yourselves] from x4480 the accursed thing, 2764 lest x6435 ye make [yourselves] accursed, 2763 z8686 when ye take 3947 z8804 of x4480 the accursed thing, 2764 and make 7760 z8804 x853 the camp 4264 of Israel 3478 a curse, 2764 and trouble 5916 z8804 it.

 6:19 But all x3605 the silver, 3701 and gold, 2091 and vessels 3627 of brass 5178 and iron, 1270 [are] consecrated 6944 unto the LORD: 3068 they shall come 935 z8799 into the treasury 214 of the LORD. 3068

 6:20 So the people 5971 shouted 7321 z8686 when [the priests] blew 8628 z8799 with the trumpets: 7782 and it came to pass, x1961 when the people 5971 heard 8085 z8800 x853 the sound 6963 of the trumpet, 7782 and the people 5971 shouted 7321 z8686 with a great 1419 shout, 8643 that the wall 2346 fell down x5307 flat, y5307 z8799 x8478 so that the people 5971 went up 5927 z8799 into the city, 5892 every man 376 straight before x5048 him, and they took 3920 z8799 x853 the city. 5892

 6:21 And they utterly destroyed 2763 z8686 x853 all x3605 that x834 [was] in the city, 5892 both man 376 x4480 and woman, 802 young 5288 x4480 and old, 2205 and ox, 7794 and sheep, 7716 and ass, 2543 with the edge 6310 of the sword. 2719

 6:22 But Joshua 3091 had said 559 z8804 unto the two 8147 men y582 x376 that had spied out 7270 z8764 x853 the country, 776 Go y935 z8798 into x935 the harlot's 2181 z8802 x802 house, 1004 and bring out 3318 z8685 thence x4480 x8033 x853 the woman, 802 and all x3605 that x834 she hath, as x834 ye swore 7650 z8738 unto her.

 6:23 And the young men 5288 that were spies 7270 z8764 went in, 935 z8799 and brought out 3318 z8686 x853 Rahab, 7343 and her father, 1 and her mother, 517 and her brethren, 251 and all x3605 that x834 she had; and they brought out 3318 z8689 all x3605 her kindred, 4940 and left y3240 z8686 x5117 them without 2351 x4480 the camp 4264 of Israel. 3478

 6:24 And they burnt 8313 z8804 the city 5892 with fire, 784 and all x3605 that x834 [was] therein: only x7535 the silver, 3701 and the gold, 2091 and the vessels 3627 of brass 5178 and of iron, 1270 they put 5414 z8804 into the treasury 214 of the house 1004 of the LORD. 3068

 6:25 And Joshua 3091 saved 2421 z0 Rahab 7343 the harlot 2181 z8802 alive, y2421 z8689 and her father's 1 household, 1004 and all x3605 that x834 she had; and she dwelleth 3427 z8799 in 7130 Israel 3478 [even] unto x5704 this x2088 day; 3117 because x3588 she hid 2244 z8689 x853 the messengers, 4397 which x834 Joshua 3091 sent 7971 z8804 to spy out 7270 z8763 x853 Jericho. 3405

 6:26 ¶ And Joshua 3091 adjured 7650 z8686 [them] at that x1931 time, 6256 saying, 559 z8800 Cursed 779 z8803 [be] the man 376 before 6440 the LORD, 3068 that x834 riseth up 6965 z8799 and buildeth 1129 z8804 x853 this x2063 city 5892 x853 Jericho: 3405 he shall lay the foundation 3245 z8762 thereof in his firstborn, 1060 and in his youngest 6810 [son] shall he set up 5324 z8686 the gates 1817 of it.

 6:27 So the LORD 3068 was x1961 with x854 Joshua; 3091 and his fame 8089 was x1961 [noised] throughout all x3605 the country. 776
