Chap. VI.
Some priestes carying the arke, others sounding Iubilee trumpetes, armed men
going before, and the rest of the people folowing, goe euerie day once, six
dayes together, and the seuenth day, seuen times, round about Iericho. note 16.
at last al making a great shoote, the walles fal downe, and they entering in
kil and destroy al (22. sauing Rahab and her kinred.) The gold, siluer,
bra&esset;e, and iron are brought into the treasurie. 26. And he is cursed that
shal build the citie againe.
1 And Iericho was shut and fensed, for feare of the children
of Israel, and no man durst goe out or come in.
2 And our Lord said to Iosue: Behold I haue geuen into thy
handes Iericho, and the king therof, and al the valiant men.
3 noteGoe round about the citie al you that be men of warre
once a day: so shal you doe six daies.
4 And the seuenth day the
priestes shal take vp the seuen trumpettes, which are vsed in
the Iubilee, and shal goe before the arke of the couenant: and
you shal goe about the citie seuen times, and the priestes shal
sound with trumpetes.
5 And when the voice of the trumpet
shal sound in length and with a broken tune, and shal sound in
your eares, al the people shal crie together with a verie greate
shoote, and the walles of the citie shal fall to the ground, and
they shal enter in euerie one at the place against which they
shal st&abar;d.
6 Iosue therfore the sonne of Nun called the priestes,
and said to them: Take vp the arke of the couenant: and let seuen
other priestes take vp the seuen tr&ubar;pettes of the iubilees,
and march before the arke of our Lord.
7 To the people also
he said: Goe, and c&obar;passe the citie, the armed going before the
arke of our Lord.
8 And when Iosue had ended his wordes,
and the seuen priestes sounded with seuen trumpettes before
the arke of the couenant of our Lord,
9 and al the armed hoste
went before, the rest of the comm&obar; people folowed the arke,
and al places sounded with the trumpettes.
10 But Iosue had
commanded the people, saying: You shal not crie, neither
shal your voice be heard, nor any word goe out of your
mouth: vntil the day come wherin I shal say to you: Crie, and
shoote.
11 Therfore the arke of our Lord went about the
citie once a day, and returning into the campe, abode there.
12 Iosue therfore rysing in the night, the priestes tooke the
arke of our Lord,
13 and seuen of them seuen trumpettes,
which are vsed in the iubilee: and they went before the arke
of our Lord walking and sounding: and the armed people

went before them, and the rest of the common people folowed
the arke, and they sounded with trumpettes.
14 And
they went round about the citie the second day once, and
returned into the campe. So did they six daies.
15 But the
seuenth day, rysing vp early, they went about the citie, as it
was ordained, seuen times.
16 And when in the seuenth going
about the priestes sounded with the trumpettes, Iosue said to
al Israel: Make a shoote: for our Lord hath deliuered to you
the citie:
17 and let this citie be anathema: and al thinges
that are in it, to our Lord. onlie Rahab the harlot let her liue,
with al that be with her in the house: for she hidde the messengers
whom we sent.
18 But you beware you touch not
ought of those thinges, that are commanded, and be guiltie
of preuarication, and note al the campe of Israel be vnder sinne,
and be trubled.
19 But whatsoeuer gold or siluer there shal
be, and of brasen vessels and yron, let it be consecrated to our
Lord, layd vp in his treasures.
20 Therfore al the people making
a shoote, and the trumpettes sounding, after that the
voice and the sound thundred in the eares of the multitude,
the walles forth with fell: and euerie man went vp by the
place, that was against him: and they tooke the citie,
21 and killed al thinges that were in it, from man to woman,
from the infant to the old man. The oxen also and sheepe,
and the asses they stroke in the edge of the sword.
22 But to
the two men that had bene sent for spies, Iosue said: Goe
into the house of the woman the harlotte, and bring her
forth, and al thinges that be hers, as you assured her by oath.
23 And the young men going in, brought out Rahab, and her
parentes, her brethren also and al her stuffe and kinred, and
made them to tarie without the campe.
24 But the citie, and
al thinges, that were found therein they burnt; except the
gold and siluer, and brasen vessels, and yron, which they consecrated
vnto the treasurie of our Lord.
25 But Rahab the
harlotte and the house of her father, and al that she had, Iosue
caused to liue, and they dwelt in the middes of Israel vntil
this present day: for that she hidde the messengers, which
he had sent to view Iericho. At that time, Iosue pronounced
a curse, saying:
26 noteCursed be the man before our Lord, that
shal rayse vp and build the citie of Iericho. In his first borne
lay he the fundations therof, and in the last of his children
sette he vp the gates therof.
27 Our Lord therfore was with
Iosue, and his name was bruited in al the earth.

Achans sinne punished.
