Joshua 6:3 in Context — Joshua 6

1 Porém Jericó estava fechada, bem fechada, por causa dos filhos de Israel: ninguém entrava, nem saía.

2 Mas o SENHOR disse a Josué: Olha, eu entreguei em tua mão a Jericó e a seu rei, com seus homens de guerra.

3 Cercareis, pois, a cidade todos os homens de guerra, indo ao redor da cidade uma vez: e isto fareis seis dias.

4 E sete sacerdotes levarão sete trombetas de chifres de carneiros diante da arca; e ao sétimo dia dareis sete voltas à cidade, e os sacerdotes tocarão as trombetas.

5 E quando tocarem prolongadamente a trombeta de carneiro, assim que ouvirdes o som da trombeta, todo aquele povo gritará a grande voz, e o muro da cidade cairá debaixo de si: então o povo subirá cada um em frente de si.
