John Gill Commentary Joshua 6:13

"And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams` horns before the ark of Jehovah went on continually, and blew the trumpets: and the armed men went before them; and the rearward came after the ark of Jehovah, [the priests] blowing the trumpets as they went." — Joshua 6:13 (ASV)

And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns
before the ark of the Lord (See Gill on Joshua 6:4);

went on continually ;
or, "going they went" ^F2 : 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 rear guard 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 ;
(See Gill on Joshua 6:9).
