Joshua 6:5 (King James Version)
And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
- make a long
- Joshua 6:16 Joshua 6:20 ; Exodus 19:19 ; 2 Chronicles 20:21 2 Chronicles 20:22
- the people

- and the wall
- The words {wenaphelah chomath hair tachteyha,} are literally, "and the wall of the city shall fall down under itself;" which
- appears simply to mean, that the wall shall fall down from its very foundation; which was probably the case in every part, though large breaches in different places might have been amply sufficient first to admit the armed men, after whom the host might enter to destroy the city. There is no ground for the supposition that the walls sunk into the earth. Isaiah 25:12 ; 30:25 2 Corinthians 10:4 2 Corinthians 10:5 ; Hebrews 11:30
- flat
- Hebrew under it.
