Contextual Overview
6 So Joshua son of Nun called the priests and told them, "Take up the Chest of the Covenant. Seven priests are to carry seven ram's horn trumpets leading God 's Chest." 7 Then he told the people, "Set out! March around the city. Have the armed guard march before the Chest of God ." 8And it happened. Joshua spoke, the people moved: Seven priests with their seven ram's horn trumpets set out before God . They blew the trumpets, leading God 's Chest of the Covenant. The armed guard marched ahead of the trumpet-blowing priests; the rear guard was marching after the Chest, marching and blowing their trumpets. 10 Joshua had given orders to the people, "Don't shout. In fact, don't even speak—not so much as a whisper until you hear me say, ‘Shout!'—then shout away!" 11He sent the Chest of God on its way around the city. It circled once, came back to camp, and stayed for the night. Joshua was up early the next morning and the priests took up the Chest of God . The seven priests carrying the seven ram's horn trumpets marched before the Chest of God , marching and blowing the trumpets, with the armed guard marching before and the rear guard marching after. Marching and blowing of trumpets! 14 On the second day they again circled the city once and returned to camp. They did this six days. 15When the seventh day came, they got up early and marched around the city this same way but seven times—yes, this day they circled the city seven times. On the seventh time around the priests blew the trumpets and Joshua signaled the people, "Shout!— God has given you the city! The city and everything in it is under a holy curse and offered up to God . "Except for Rahab the harlot—she is to live, she and everyone in her house with her, because she hid the agents we sent.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the second day they compassed the city once,.... Went round it one time only; as on the first:
and returned into the camp: which was at Gilgal, Joshua 5:10;
so they did six days: four more after these two successively, and proceeded in the same order and manner as on those two days.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 6:14. So they did six days. — It is not likely that the whole Israelitish host went each day round the city. This would have been utterly impossible: the fighting men alone amounted to nearly 600,000, independently of the people, who must have amounted at least to two or three millions; we may therefore safely assert that only a select number, such as was deemed necessary for the occasion, were employed. Jericho could not have been a large city: and to reduce it could not have required a hundredth part of the armed force under the command of Joshua.
