[1] Now Jericho was tightly shut up because of the children of Israel. No one went out, and no one came in. [2] Yahweh said to Joshua, “Behold, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and the mighty men of valor. [3] All of your men of war shall march around the city, going around the city once. You shall do this six days. [4] Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day, you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. [5] It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; then the city wall will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, every man straight in front of him.” [6] Joshua the son of Nun called the priests, and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh’s ark.” [7] They said to the people, “Advance! March around the city, and let the armed men pass on before Yahweh’s ark.” [8] It was so, that when Joshua had spoken to the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before Yahweh advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of Yahweh’s covenant followed them. [9] The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the ark went after them. The trumpets sounded as they went. [10] Joshua commanded the people, saying, “You shall not shout nor let your voice be heard, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.” [11] So he caused Yahweh’s ark to go around the city, circling it once. Then they came into the camp, and stayed in the camp. [12] Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up Yahweh’s ark. [13] The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of Yahweh’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after Yahweh’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went. [14] The second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. They did this six days. [15] On the seventh day, they rose early at the dawning of the day, and marched around the city in the same way seven times. On this day only they marched around the city seven times. [16] At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for Yahweh has given you the city! [17] The city shall be devoted, even it and all that is in it, to Yahweh. Only Rahab the prostitute shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. [18] But as for you, only keep yourselves from what is devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted it, you take of the devoted thing; so you would make the camp of Israel accursed and trouble it. [19] But all the silver, gold, and vessels of bronze and iron are holy to Yahweh. They shall come into Yahweh’s treasury.” [20] So the people shouted and the priests blew the trumpets. When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight in front of him, and they took the city. [21] They utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, both young and old, and ox, sheep, and donkey, with the edge of the sword. [22] Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, “Go into the prostitute’s house, and bring the woman and all that she has out from there, as you swore to her.” [23] The young men who were spies went in, and brought out Rahab with her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. They also brought out all of her relatives, and they set them outside of the camp of Israel. [24] They burned the city with fire, and all that was in it. Only they put the silver, the gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron into the treasury of Yahweh’s house. [25] But Rahab the prostitute, her father’s household, and all that she had, Joshua saved alive. She lives in the middle of Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. [26] Joshua commanded them with an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed is the man before Yahweh who rises up and builds this city Jericho. With the loss of his firstborn he will lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he will set up its gates.” [27] So Yahweh was with Joshua; and his fame was in all the land.
King James Version
[1] Now Jericho H3405 was straitly H5462 (QalActPtc) shut up H5462 (PualPtc) because H6440 of the children H1121 of Israel: H3478 none went out, H3318 (QalActPtc) and none came in. H935 (QalActPtc) [2] And the Lord H3068 said H559 (QalImpf) unto Joshua, H3091 See, H7200 (QalImpv) I have given H5414 (QalPerf) into thine hand H3027 Jericho, H3405 and the king H4428 thereof, and the mighty men H1368 of valour. H2428 [3] And ye shall compass H5437 (QalPerf) the city, H5892 all ye men H582 of war, H4421 and go round about H5362 (HiphInf) the city H5892 once. H6471 Thus shalt thou do H6213 (QalImpf) six H8337 days. H3117 [4] And seven H7651 priests H3548 shall bear H5375 (QalImpf) before H6440 the ark H727 seven H7651 trumpets H7782 of rams’ horns: H3104 and the seventh H7637 day H3117 ye shall compass H5437 (QalImpf) the city H5892 seven H7651 times, H6471 and the priests H3548 shall blow H8628 (QalImpf) with the trumpets. H7782 [5] And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long H4900 (QalInf) blast with the ram’s H3104 horn, H7161 and when ye hear H8085 (QalInf) the sound H6963 of the trumpet, H7782 all the people H5971 shall shout H7321 (HiphImpf) with a great H1419 shout; H8643 and the wall H2346 of the city H5892 shall fall down H5307 (QalPerf) flat, H8478§ and the people H5971 shall ascend up H5927 (QalPerf) every man H376 straight before him. [6] And Joshua H3091 the son H1121 of Nun H5126 called H7121 (QalImpf) the priests, H3548 and said H559 (QalImpf) unto them, Take up H5375 (QalImpv) the ark H727 of the covenant, H1285 and let seven H7651 priests H3548 bear H5375 (QalImpf) seven H7651 trumpets H7782 of rams’ horns H3104 before H6440 the ark H727 of the Lord. H3068 [7] And he said H559 (QalImpf) unto the people, H5971 Pass on, H5674 (QalImpv) and compass H5437 (QalImpv) the city, H5892 and let him that is armed H2502 (QalPasPtc) pass on H5674 (QalImpf) before H6440 the ark H727 of the Lord. H3068 [8] And it came to pass, when Joshua H3091 had spoken H559 (QalInf) unto the people, H5971 that the seven H7651 priests H3548 bearing H5375 (QalActPtc) the seven H7651 trumpets H7782 of rams’ horns H3104 passed on H5674 (QalPerf) before H6440 the Lord, H3068 and blew H8628 (QalPerf) with the trumpets: H7782 and the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the Lord H3068 followed H1980 (QalActPtc) them. H310 [9] And the armed H2502 (QalPasPtc) men went H1980 (QalActPtc) before H6440 the priests H3548 that blew H8628 (QalActPtc/Qere) with the trumpets, H7782 and the rereward H622 (PielPtc)§ came H1980 (QalActPtc) after H310 the ark, H727 the priests going on, H1980 (QalInf) and blowing H8628 (QalInf) with the trumpets. H7782 [10] And Joshua H3091 had commanded H6680 (PielPerf) the people, H5971 saying, H559 (QalInf) Ye shall not shout, H7321 (HiphImpf) nor make any noise H8085 (HiphImpf) with your voice, H6963§ neither shall any word H1697 proceed H3318 (QalImpf) out of your mouth, H6310 until the day H3117 I bid H559 (QalInf) you shout; H7321 (HiphImpv) then shall ye shout. H7321 (HiphPerf) [11] So the ark H727 of the Lord H3068 compassed H5437 (HiphImpf) the city, H5892 going about H5362 (HiphInf) it once: H6471 and they came H935 (QalImpf) into the camp, H4264 and lodged H3885 (QalImpf) in the camp. H4264 [12] And Joshua H3091 rose early H7925 (HiphImpf) in the morning, H1242 and the priests H3548 took up H5375 (QalImpf) the ark H727 of the Lord. H3068 [13] And seven H7651 priests H3548 bearing H5375 (QalActPtc) seven H7651 trumpets H7782 of rams’ horns H3104 before H6440 the ark H727 of the Lord H3068 went on H1980 (QalActPtc) continually, H1980 (QalInf) and blew H8628 (QalPerf) with the trumpets: H7782 and the armed men H2502 (QalPasPtc) went H1980 (QalActPtc) before H6440 them; but the rereward H622 (PielPtc) came H1980 (QalActPtc) after H310 the ark H727 of the Lord, H3068 the priests going on, H1980 (QalInf) and blowing H8628 (QalInf) with the trumpets. H7782 [14] And the second H8145 day H3117 they compassed H5437 (QalImpf) the city H5892 once, H6471 and returned H7725 (QalImpf) into the camp: H4264 so they did H6213 (QalPerf) six H8337 days. H3117 [15] And it came to pass on the seventh H7637 day, H3117 that they rose early H7925 (HiphImpf) about the dawning H5927 (QalInf) of the day, H7837 and compassed H5437 (QalImpf) the city H5892 after the same manner H4941 seven H7651 times: H6471 only on that day H3117 they compassed H5437 (QalPerf) the city H5892 seven H7651 times. H6471 [16] And it came to pass at the seventh H7637 time, H6471 when the priests H3548 blew H8628 (QalPerf) with the trumpets, H7782 Joshua H3091 said H559 (QalImpf) unto the people, H5971 Shout; H7321 (HiphImpv) for the Lord H3068 hath given H5414 (QalPerf) you the city. H5892 [17] And the city H5892 shall be accursed, H2764§ even it, and all that are therein, to the Lord: H3068 only Rahab H7343 the harlot H2181 (QalActPtc) shall live, H2421 (QalImpf) she and all that are with her in the house, H1004 because she hid H2244 (HiphPerf) the messengers H4397 that we sent. H7971 (QalPerf) [18] And ye, in any wise H7535 keep H8104 (QalImpv) yourselves from the accursed thing, H2764 lest ye make yourselves accursed, H2763 (HiphImpf) when ye take H3947 (QalPerf) of the accursed thing, H2764 and make H7760 (QalPerf) the camp H4264 of Israel H3478 a curse, H2764 and trouble H5916 (QalPerf) it. [19] But all the silver, H3701 and gold, H2091 and vessels H3627 of brass H5178 and iron, H1270 are consecrated§ H6944 unto the Lord: H3068 they shall come H935 (QalImpf) into the treasury H214 of the Lord. H3068 [20] So the people H5971 shouted H7321 (HiphImpf) when the priests blew H8628 (QalImpf) with the trumpets: H7782 and it came to pass, when the people H5971 heard H8085 (QalInf) the sound H6963 of the trumpet, H7782 and the people H5971 shouted H7321 (HiphImpf) with a great H1419 shout, H8643 that the wall H2346 fell down flat, H5307 (QalImpf)§ so that the people H5971 went up H5927 (QalImpf) into the city, H5892 every man H376 straight before him, and they took H3920 (QalImpf) the city. H5892 [21] And they utterly destroyed H2763 (HiphImpf) all that was in the city, H5892 both man H376 and woman, H802 young H5288 and old, H2205 and ox, H7794 and sheep, H7716 and ass, H2543 with the edge H6310 of the sword. H2719 [22] But Joshua H3091 had said H559 (QalPerf) unto the two H8147 men H582 that had spied out H7270 (PielPtc) the country, H776 Go H935 (QalImpv) into the harlot’s H2181 (QalActPtc) house, H1004 and bring out H3318 (HiphImpv) thence the woman, H802 and all that she hath, as ye sware H7650 (NiphPerf) unto her. [23] And the young men H5288 that were spies H7270 (PielPtc) went in, H935 (QalImpf) and brought out H3318 (HiphImpf) Rahab, H7343 and her father, H1 and her mother, H517 and her brethren, H251 and all that she had; and they brought out H3318 (HiphPerf) all her kindred, H4940§ and left H3240 (HiphImpf) them without H2351 the camp H4264 of Israel. H3478 [24] And they burnt H8313 (QalPerf) the city H5892 with fire, H784 and all that was therein: only the silver, H3701 and the gold, H2091 and the vessels H3627 of brass H5178 and of iron, H1270 they put H5414 (QalPerf) into the treasury H214 of the house H1004 of the Lord. H3068 [25] And Joshua H3091 saved H2421 Rahab H7343 the harlot H2181 (QalActPtc) alive, H2421 (HiphPerf) and her father’s H1 household, H1004 and all that she had; and she dwelleth H3427 (QalImpf) in H7130 Israel H3478 even unto this day; H3117 because she hid H2244 (HiphPerf) the messengers, H4397 which Joshua H3091 sent H7971 (QalPerf) to spy out H7270 (PielInf) Jericho. H3405 [26] And Joshua H3091 adjured H7650 (HiphImpf) them at that time, H6256 saying, H559 (QalInf) Cursed H779 (QalPasPtc) be the man H376 before H6440 the Lord, H3068 that riseth up H6965 (QalImpf) and buildeth H1129 (QalPerf) this city H5892 Jericho: H3405 he shall lay the foundation H3245 (PielImpf) thereof in his firstborn, H1060 and in his youngest H6810 son shall he set up H5324 (HiphImpf) the gates H1817 of it. [27] So the Lord H3068 was with Joshua; H3091 and his fame H8089 was noised throughout all the country. H776
