Joshua 6:11 in context

The verses around it, from Joshua 6.

7 And he told the people, “Advance and march around the city, with the armed troops going ahead of the ark of the LORD.”

8 After Joshua had spoken to the people, seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns before the LORD advanced and blew the horns, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

9 While the horns continued to sound, the armed troops marched ahead of the priests who blew the horns, and the rear guard followed the ark.

10 But Joshua had commanded the people: “Do not give a battle cry or let your voice be heard; do not let one word come out of your mouth until the day I tell you to shout. Then you are to shout!”

11 So he had the ark of the LORD carried around the city, circling it once. And the people returned to the camp and spent the night there.

12 Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests took the ark of the LORD.

13 And the seven priests carrying seven rams’ horns kept marching ahead of the ark of the LORD and blowing the horns. The armed troops went in front of them and the rear guard followed the ark of the LORD, while the horns kept sounding.

14 So on the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. They did this for six days.

15 Then on the seventh day, they got up at dawn and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. That was the only day they circled the city seven times.
