Obedience and the Daily March

6

Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven shofars of rams’ horns before the LORD’s ark.”

7

They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before the LORD’s ark.”

8

It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven shofars of rams’ horns before the LORD advanced, and blew the shofars; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

9

The armed men went before the priests who blew the shofars, and the ark went after them. The shofars sounded as they went.

10

Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout, nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.”

11

So he caused the LORD’s ark to go around the city, going about it once. Then they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

12

Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the LORD’s ark.

13

The seven priests bearing the seven shofars of rams’ horns before the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the shofars: and the armed men went before them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The shofars sounded as they went.

14

The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days.
