Joshua 6:13

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord,.... [See comments on Joshua 6:4];

went on continually; or, "going they went" (b): 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 rereward 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 comments on Joshua 6:9].

(b) הלכים הלוך "euntes eundo", Montanus.
