Joshua 6:16

SCRIPTURE

"And it came to pass at the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said unto the people, Shout; for Jehovah hath given you the city." — Joshua 6:16 (ASV)

And it came to pass at the seventh time
Of their going round the city on the seventh day: and at the seventh time,

when the priests blew with the trumpets ;
as they did every time they compassed the city:

Joshua said unto the people, shout ;
both those that were armed, and those that were not; they were to make one grand and general shout at once, as when victory is obtained, or is sure, and so it follows:

for the Lord has given you the city ;
intimating that it would be presently delivered into their hands, and in such manner, that it would plainly show it was of the Lord, and no other.
