Yosua 6:15-16

6:15 On the seventh day they were up at the crack of dawn ¹  and marched around the city as before – only this time they marched around it seven times. ²  6:16 The seventh time around, the priests blew the rams’ horns and Joshua told the army, ³  “Give the battle cry, ⁴  for the Lord is handing the city over to you! ⁵ 

[6:15]  ¹ tn Heb “On the seventh day they rose early, when the dawn ascended.”

[6:15]  ² tn Heb “and they went around the city according to this manner seven times, only on that day they went around the city seven times.”

[6:16]  ³ tn Heb “the people.”

[6:16]  ⁴ tn Or “the shout.”

[6:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “for the Lord has given to you the city.” The verbal form is a perfect, probably indicating certitude here.
