Joshua 6
Peshitta Holy Bible Translated Par ▾ 
1And Yerikho was shut up from before the children of Israel, and there was no one going out and no one entering 2And LORD JEHOVAH said to Yeshua: “See that I have delivered into your hands Yerikho and its King and all his army 3All the men workers of war shall surround the city and go around the city one time on day one; do so for six days 4And seven Priests shall take horns and they shall blow reveille before the ark and on the seventh day go around the city seven times, and the Priests shall sound with the trumpets 5And whenever they blow with the trumpets and you have heard the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall cry out a great outcry, and the wall of the city will fall on its place, and the people, each man, shall go up over next to it”

6And Yeshua, son of Nun, called the Priests and said to them: “Take up the ark of the covenant of LORD JEHOVAH and seven Priests shall take seven horns and they shall blow reveille before the ark of LORD JEHOVAH” 7And he said to the people: “Pass by and go around the city, and those who are armed shall pass by before the ark of LORD JEHOVAH” 8And as Yeshua told the people, seven Priests were carrying seven horns and they were blowing reveille before the ark of LORD JEHOVAH, and they were sounding with the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of LORD JEHOVAH was coming after them 9And those who were armed were going before the Priests who were sounding with the trumpets, and those who were assembled were going after the ark and they were walking and sounding on the trumpets 10And Yeshua commanded the people and he said: “You shall not shout and you shall not make your voice heard, and a word shall not go out of your mouth until the day that I say to you, ‘Shout!’, and then you shall shout” 11And the ark of LORD JEHOVAH went around the city one time, and they came to the camp and they lodged in the camp

12And Yeshua arose early at dawn and the Priests picked up the ark of LORD JEHOVAH 13And seven Priests were carrying seven horns and they were going before the ark of LORD JEHOVAH, and they were walking and sounding with the trumpets, and those who were armed were going before them, and they who were assembled were going after the ark of LORD JEHOVAH and they were sounding on the trumpets 14And they went around that city on the second day one time and they returned to the encampment. Thus they did six days

15And on the seventh day they arose at dawn and they went around the city according to this law, seven times, but they went around it seven times only on that day 16And that seventh time, the Priests sounded with the trumpets and Yeshua said to the people: “Shout, because LORD JEHOVAH has delivered the city to you! 17And this city and everything that is in it shall be destruction to LORD JEHOVAH; only save Rakhab the Harlot and everyone who is with her in the house because she hid those spies whom we sent 18But be attentive of the destruction that you will not hide and take from the destruction and make the encampment of Israel a destruction and disturb it 19All silver and gold and instruments of brass and of iron are holy to LORD JEHOVAH; they shall go into the house of the treasury of LORD JEHOVAH!” 20And the people shouted and they sounded with the trumpets and when the people heard the sound of the trumpets, the people shouted a very great outcry and the wall fell onto its place, and the people came up to the city, each man next to it, and they subjected the city 21And they attacked all that was in it with the sword, from the men and unto the women, and from the boys and unto the old men; they killed by the mouth of the sword unto the bulls, and unto the flocks and the donkeys

22And Yeshua said to those two men who spied out the land: “Enter the house of that harlot woman and send her out from there, the woman and everything that she has, just as you swore to her” 23And the Spies went and they sent out Rakhab and her father and her mother and her brothers and everything that she had, and they brought out all her family and they encamped them outside of the camp of Israel 24And the city they burned in fire and everything that was in it; only the gold and the silver and the implements of brass and of iron they brought to the house of the treasury of LORD JEHOVAH 25And Yeshua saved Rakhab the Harlot and the house of her father and everything that she had, and she has dwelt among the children of Israel until today, because she hid the Spies whom Yeshua had sent to spy on Yerikho

26And Yeshua swore at that time and he said: “Cursed is the man before LORD JEHOVAH who shall arise and shall build this city Yerikho; on his firstborn he shall build it and on his youngest he shall raise up its gates!” 27And LORD JEHOVAH was with Yeshua and his fame was going into all the Earth
