Joshua 6:13 In-Context

11 And the ark of Jehovah doth compass the city, going round once, and they come into the camp, and lodge in the camp.

12 And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and the priests bear the ark of Jehovah,

13 and seven priests bearing seven trumpets of the jubilee before the ark of Jehovah are walking, going on, and they have blown with the trumpets -- and he who is armed is going before them, and he who is gathering up is going behind the ark of Jehovah -- going on and blowing with the trumpets.

14 And they compass the city on the second day once, and turn back to the camp; thus they have done six days.

15 And it cometh to pass, on the seventh day, that they rise early, at the ascending of the dawn, and compass the city, according to this manner, seven times; (only, on that day they have compassed the city seven times);
