Joshua 6:3 in Context — Joshua 6

1 Jéricho était fermée et barricadée devant les enfants d’Israël. Personne ne sortait, et personne n’entrait.

2 L’Éternel dit à Josué: Vois, je livre entre tes mains Jéricho et son roi, ses vaillants soldats.

3 Faites le tour de la ville, vous tous les hommes de guerre, faites une fois le tour de la ville. Tu feras ainsi pendant six jours.

4 Sept sacrificateurs porteront devant l’arche sept trompettes retentissantes; le septième jour, vous ferez sept fois le tour de la ville; et les sacrificateurs sonneront des trompettes.

5 Quand ils sonneront de la corne retentissante, quand vous entendrez le son de la trompette, tout le peuple poussera de grands cris. Alors la muraille de la ville s’écroulera, et le peuple montera, chacun devant soi.
