Thus shalt thou do six days. [This was to psych out the sinful people of Jericho before their utter destruction.] And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams’ horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets. And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat [this will be accomplished by the invisible hand of the host of the LORD], and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.
“Nanyi mtauzunguka mji huu, watu wote wa vita, mkiuzunguka mji mara moja. Mtafanya hivi siku sita. [Hii ilikuwa ili kuwatia hofu watu wenye dhambi wa Yeriko kabla ya maangamizo yao makamilifu] Na makuhani saba watachukua tarumbeta saba za pembe za kondoo waume, mbele ya hilo sanduku (la agano); na siku ya saba mtauzunguka mji mara saba, nao makuhani watapiga tarumbeta zao. Kisha, itakuwa watakapopiga hizo pembe za kondoo waume kwa nguvu, nanyi mtakaposikia sauti ya tarumbeta, watu wote watapiga kelele kwa sauti kuu; na ukuta wa mji utaanguka chini pale pale, [kazi hii itafanywa kwa mkono usioonekana wa BWANA wa majeshi], na hao watu (Waisraeli) watapanda, kila mtu akiendelea mbele kukabili.
