Gill's Notes on the Bible
Now Jericho was straitly shut up, because of the children of Israel,.... Or "it shut up", or "was shutting, and was shut up" u; that is, the king and the inhabitants shut it up within; the Targum says with iron doors, and bars of brass, and it was blocked up without by the children of Israel:
none went out and none came in; none of their forces went out to make a sally on the Israelites, or to seek to make peace with them; nor any of their neighbours went in to them, to carry them any provision, or to assist them, or to be sheltered by them, not being able to do it because of the camp of Israel.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
This verse is strictly parenthetical. It is inserted to explain the declaration commenced Joshua 5:14, and interrupted by Joshua’s question and obeisance Joshua 5:14-15, but resumed in Joshua 6:2.
Straitly shut up - See the margin, i. e., not only shut, but barred and bolted.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER VI
The inhabitants of Jericho close their gates, 1.
Continuation of the discourse between the captain of the Lord's
host and Joshua. He commands the people to march round the city
six days, the seven priests blowing with their trumpets; and to
give a general shout, while marching round it on the seventh,
and promises that then the walls of the city shall fall down,
2-5.
Joshua delivers these directions to the priests and to the
people, 6, 7.
The priests and people obey; the order of their procession,
8-16.
He commands them to spare the house of Rahab, 17,
and not to touch any part of the property of the city, the whole
of which God had devoted to destruction, 18, 19.
On the seventh day the walls fall down, and the Israelites take
the city, 20, 21.
The spies are ordered to take care of Rahab and her family-the
city is burnt, but the silver, gold, brass, and iron, are put
into the treasury of the house of the Lord, 22-24.
Rahab dwells among the Israelites, 25;
and the city is laid under a curse, 26.
NOTES ON CHAP. VI
Verse Joshua 6:1. Now Jericho was straitly shut up — The king of Jericho, finding that the spies had escaped, though the city was always kept shut by night, took the most proper precaution to prevent every thing of the kind in future, by keeping the city shut both day and night, having, no doubt, laid in a sufficiency of provisions to stand a siege, being determined to defend himself to the uttermost.
