Read in Logos
Joshua 6:20: So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city.

Footnotes

  1. 32 Heb “and the people shouted and they blew the rams’ horns.” The initial statement (“and the people shouted”) seems premature, since the verse goes on to explain that the battle cry followed the blowing of the horns. The statement has probably been accidentally duplicated from what follows. It is omitted in the .
  2. 33 Heb “the people.”
  3. 34 Heb “the sound of the horn.”
  4. 35 Heb “they shouted with a loud shout.”
  5. 36 Heb “fell in its place.”
  6. 37 Heb “and the people went up into the city, each one straight ahead, and they captured the city.”
