Bible Comments

JOSHUA CHAPTER 6 Jericho is shut up by the Israelites, Joshua 6:1. The people and seven priests with the ark go round it six days, Joshua 6:2-14. On the seventh day they go round seven times; the priests blow the trumpets; the people shout; the city accursed; nothing to be taken, but all consecrated; the walls fall down; men, women, and cattle destroyed, Joshua 6:15-21. Rahab and her kindred are saved, Joshua 6:22-25. Joshua curseth the man who should rebuild Jericho, Joshua 6:26. Straitly shut up; not only by night, as before, Joshua 2:5, but constantly and diligently.

Joshua 6:1

1 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel: none went out, and none came in.
