6:8 When Joshua gave the army its orders, the seven priests carrying the seven rams’ horns before the Lord moved ahead and blew the horns as the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed behind.

JFB: Jos 6:8-11 - the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets . . . passed on before the Lord

Before the ark, called "the ark of the covenant," for it contained the tables on which the covenant was inscribed. The procession was made in deep and solemn silence, conforming to the instructions given to the people by their leader at the outset, that they were to refrain from all acclamation and noise of any kind until he should give them a signal. It must have been a strange sight; no mound was raised, no sword drawn, no engine planted, no pioneers undermining--here were armed men, but no stroke given; they must walk and not fight. Doubtless the people of Jericho made themselves merry with the spectacle [BISHOP HALL].

TSK: Jos 6:8 - before the Lord

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Gill: Jos 6:8 - And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people // that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the Lord // and blew with the trumpets // and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them

And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken to the people,.... Both armed and unarmed; had finished the orders and directions he gave them before mentioned:

that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the Lord; in his sight, and by his direction, and at his command given by Joshua, and before the ark, the symbol of his presence:

and blew with the trumpets; a short blast as they went along; this they did on each of the six days:

and the ark of the covenant of the Lord followed them; being borne by priests, Jos 6:6.
