So Joshua son of Nun called the priests together and said to them, “Carry the Ark of the Agreement. Tell seven priests to carry trumpets and march in front of it.” Then Joshua ordered the people, “Now go! March around the city. The soldiers with weapons should march in front of the Ark of the Agreement with the LORD.” When Joshua finished speaking to the people, the seven priests began marching before the LORD. They carried the seven trumpets and blew them as they marched. The priests carrying the Ark of the Agreement with the LORD followed them. Soldiers with weapons marched in front of the priests, and armed men walked behind the Ark. The priests were blowing their trumpets. But Joshua had told the people not to give a war cry. He said, “Don’t shout. Don’t say a word until the day I tell you. Then shout.” So Joshua had the Ark of the LORD carried around the city one time. Then they went back to camp for the night. Early the next morning Joshua got up, and the priests carried the Ark of the LORD again. The seven priests carried the seven trumpets and marched in front of the Ark of the LORD, blowing their trumpets. Soldiers with weapons marched in front of them, and other soldiers walked behind the Ark of the LORD. All this time the priests were blowing their trumpets. So on the second day they marched around the city one time and then went back to camp. They did this every day for six days. On the seventh day they got up at dawn and marched around the city, just as they had on the days before. But on that day they marched around the city seven times.
