  10. You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days

  11. Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark

  12. On the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets

  13. And when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, when you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout

  14. …and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people shall go up, everyone straight before him”

  15. So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, "Take up the ark of the covenant and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD”

  16. And he said to the people, "Go forward. March around the city and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the LORD” - Joshua 6:1-7

  17. Whose Plan?

  18. On the seventh day they rose early, at the dawn of day, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times

  19. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times

  20. And at the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people…

  21. "Shout, for the LORD has given you the city. And the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the LORD for destruction”

  22. Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent

  23. Qualifies the called… Line of Christ Where you come from? What you've done?

  24. But you, keep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction…

  25. …lest when you have devoted them you take any of the devoted things and make the camp of Israel a thing for destruction and bring trouble upon it

  26. But all silver and gold, and every vessel of bronze and iron, are holy to the LORD; they shall go into the treasury of the LORD”

  27. KeepNothing for Yourselves

  28. So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, and the wall fell down flat
