Joshua 6:14

And the second day they compassed the city once
Went round it one time only; as on the first:

and returned into the camp:
which was at Gilgal, ( Joshua 5:10 ) ;

four more after these two successively, and proceeded in the same order and manner as on those two days.

Joshua 6:14 In-Context

12 And early in the morning Joshua got up, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord.

13 And the seven priests with their seven horns went on before the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns: the armed men went before them, and the mass of the people went after the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns.

14 The second day they went all round the town once, and then went back to their tents: and so they did for six days.

15 Then on the seventh day they got up early, at the dawn of the day, and went round the town in the same way, but that day they went round it seven times.

16 And the seventh time, at the sound of the priests' horns, Joshua said to the people, Now give a loud cry; for the Lord has given you the town.
