Obedience and the Daily March

6

Then Joshua, the son of Nun, called the priests, and said to them: Take the ark of the covenant: and let seven other priests take the seven trumpets of the jubilee, and march before the ark of the Lord.

7

And he said to the people: Go, and compass the city, armed, marching before the ark of the Lord.

8

And when Joshua 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 Joshua 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.

11

So the ark of the Lord went about the city once a day, and returning into the camp, abode there.

12

And Joshua rising before day, the priests took the ark of the Lord,

13

And seven of them seven trumpets, which are used in the jubilee: and they went before the ark of the Lord, walking and sounding the trumpets: and the armed men went before them, and the rest of the common people followed the ark, and they blew the trumpets.

14

And they went round about the city the second day once, and returned into the camp. So they did six days.
