Joshua 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 6:13

And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns
before the ark of the Lord (See Gill on Joshua 6:4);

went on continually;
or, "going they went" ^F2: kept on going, making no stop at all, until they had compassed the city:

and blew with the trumpets;
as they went along:

and the armed men went before them, but the rereward came after the ark
of the Lord;
which the Targum paraphrases as on ( Joshua 6:9 ) ;

[the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets;
(See Gill on Joshua 6:9).
