Contextual Overview

6 And 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 Jehovah. 7 And he said to the people, Pass on, go around the city, and he who is armed shall go on before the ark of Jehovah. 8 And it happened, when Joshua spoke to the people, the seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before Jehovah passed on and blew with the rams' horns. And the ark of the covenant of Jehovah went after them. 9 And he who was armed went before the priests blowing the rams' horns. And the rear guard after the ark, going on and blowing with the rams' horns. 10 And Joshua had commanded the people, saying, You shall not shout, nor cause your voice to be heard, nor shall there go from your mouth a word until the day I say to you, Shout! Then you shall shout. 11 And the ark of Jehovah went around the city, going around one time. And they came into the camp, and remained in the camp. 12 And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests bore the ark of Jehovah. 13 And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns were walking before the ark of Jehovah, going on, and were blowing with the rams' horns. And he who was armed went before them. And the rear guard went behind the ark of Jehovah, going on and blowing with the rams' horns. 14 And they circled the city on the second day one time, and returned to the camp. So they did six days. 15 And it happened on the seventh day, they rose early, at the dawning of the day, and went around the city seven times in the same way. Only on that day they circled the city seven times.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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.
