Josué 6:9

Listen to Josué 6:9
9 Los hombres armados iban delante de los sacerdotes que tocaban las trompetas, y la retaguardia iba detrás del arca, mientras ellos continuaban tocando las trompetas.

Josué 6:9 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 6:9

And the armed men went before the priests that blew with the
trumpets
Whom Jarchi, Kimchi, and Abarbinel, interpret of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe of Manasseh; that is, as many of them as Joshua took with him over Jordan; though rather all the armed men in the camp are meant; at least along with those mentioned went the standards of Judah and Ephraim:

and the rereward came after the ark;
because the tribe of Dan was the rereward in journeying, ( Numbers 2:31 ) ; hence the Targum paraphrases the words,

``and the tribe of the house of Dan went after the ark;''

and so both Jarchi and Kimchi interpret it: but rather the body of the people unarmed are designed; at least these were brought up by the standard of Dan; or otherwise no place in this procession is appointed for them, whose business it was to make the great shout on the seventh day with the rest:

[the priests] going on and blowing with the trumpets;
the word "priests" is not in the text, but is rightly supplied; for, as Kimchi and Abarbinel observe, this is not said of the rereward, but of the priests, for they only bore and blew the trumpets; and so the Targum reads,

``the priests going on''

Josué 6:9 In-Context

7 Entonces dijo al pueblo: Pasad, y marchad alrededor de la ciudad, y que los hombres armados vayan delante del arca del SEÑOR.
8 Y sucedió que después que Josué había hablado al pueblo, los siete sacerdotes que llevaban las siete trompetas de cuerno de carnero delante del SEÑOR, se adelantaron y tocaron las trompetas; y el arca del pacto del SEÑOR los seguía.
9 Los hombres armados iban delante de los sacerdotes que tocaban las trompetas, y la retaguardia iba detrás del arca, mientras ellos continuaban tocando las trompetas.
10 Pero Josué dio órdenes al pueblo, diciendo: No gritaréis ni dejaréis oír vuestra voz, ni saldrá palabra de vuestra boca, hasta el día que yo os diga: "¡Gritad!" Entonces gritaréis.
11 Así hizo que el arca del SEÑOR fuera alrededor de la ciudad, rodeándola una vez; entonces volvieron al campamento, y pasaron la noche en el campamento.
