John Gill Commentary Joshua 6:12

"And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of Jehovah." — Joshua 6:12 (ASV)

And Joshua rose early in the morning
Of the second day; to take care of, direct, and prepare everything for another procession on that day; so active and diligent was he to do the will and work of God, exactly and punctually:

and the priests took up the ark of the Lord ;
and carried it about as they had done the day before.
