I AM is Salvation (Joshua) 6

1 Now Its Moon (Jericho) was straightly shut up because of the children of God Prevails (Israel): none went out, and none came in.

2 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to I AM is Salvation (Joshua): See, I have given into your hand Its Moon (Jericho), and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valor.

3 You shall compass the city, all you men of war, and go round about the city once. This you shall do for six days.

4 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark and on the seventh day you shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

5 Then it shall come to pass, 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; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

6 So I AM is Salvation (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 the ark of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

7 He said to the people: Pass on, and compass the city, and let him that is armed pass on before the ark of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

8 Then it came to pass, when I AM is Salvation (Joshua) had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) followed them.

9 Then the armed men went before the priests that blew with the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

10 And I AM is Salvation (Joshua) had commanded the people, saying: You shall not shout, nor make any noise with your voice, neither shall any word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I bid you shout; then shall you shout.

11 So the ark of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) compassed the city, going about it once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp 

12 Then I AM is Salvation (Joshua) rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

13 The seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns went before the ark of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), and blew continually with the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; but the rear guard came after the ark of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets.

14 Again on the second day they compassed the city once and returned to the camp: they did so for six days.

15 It came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city in the same manner: only on that day they compassed the city seven times.

16 On the seventh time, when the priests blew with the trumpets, I AM is Salvation (Joshua) said to the people: Shout; for I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) has given you the city.

17 This city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah): only Wide (Rahab) the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house because she hid the messengers that we sent.

18 And you, keep yourselves from the accursed thing in every way, lest you make yourselves accursed, when you take of the accursed thing, and make the camp of God Prevails (Israel) a curse, and trouble it.

19 But all the silver, gold, and vessels of brass and iron, are consecrated to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) and shall come into the treasury of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: When the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox, sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword 

22 But I AM is Salvation (Joshua) had said to the two men that had spied out the country, Go into the harlot's house, and bring out the woman, and all that she has, as you swore to her.

23 So the young men that were spies went in and brought out Wide (Rahab), and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and all that she had; and they brought out all her kindred, and left them outside the camp of God Prevails (Israel).

24 Then they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and iron, they put into the treasury of the house of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).

25 So I AM is Salvation (Joshua) saved Wide (Rahab) the harlot alive, and her father's household, and all that she had; and she dwells in God Prevails (Israel) to this day; because she hid the messengers, which I AM is Salvation (Joshua) sent to spy out Its Moon (Jericho).

26 I AM is Salvation (Joshua) adjured them at that time, saying: Cursed be the man before I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), that rises up and builds this city Its Moon (Jericho): he shall lay the foundation thereof with his firstborn, and with his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

27 So I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) was with I AM is Salvation (Joshua); and his fame was noised throughout all the country.
