And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord,.... Joshua 6:4;
went on continually; or, "going they went" b: kept on going, making no stop at all, until they had compassed the city:
and blew with the trumpets; as they went along:
and the armed men went before them, but the rereward came after the ark of the Lord; which the Targum paraphrases as on Joshua 6:9;
[the priests] going on, and blowing with the trumpets;
