15But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. 16And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city! 17Now the city shall be jdoomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only kRahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because lshe hid the messengers that we sent. 18And you, mby all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, nand trouble it. 19But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are 2consecrated to the Lord; they 3shall come into the treasury of the Lord.”

20So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that othe wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city. 21And they putterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, ox and sheep and donkey, with the edge of the sword.

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.
