Joshua 6:6-11 - Advance!

6:6,7

The instructions in 6:2-5 were given by the Lord direct to Joshua. A lot of the rest of the chapter is a matter of Joshua conveying these instructions to various groups. First, he speaks to the priests, telling them to take up the ark, and seven priests were to carry trumpets. The army was to advance, and a guard was to be positioned ahead of the ark of the Lord.


6:8-11

So the priests went forward, the seven trumpet blowing priests blowing their trumpets, and the ark was right behind them. The armed guard went ahead of the ark, and the rest of the army followed on behind the ark. All the time, the trumpets were sounding. Each day they followed this pattern, marching around the city one time.
