The Fall of Jericho
Joshua 6
On the Lord's instruction, Joshua has the priests and armed men march around besieged Jericho with the ark and trumpets for six days, and on the seventh day they encircle it seven times before the people shout and the walls fall. Israel destroys the city and everything in it except the silver, gold, and metal given to the treasury of the Lord, while Rahab and her household are spared for hiding the spies.

Καὶ οὕτως ἐποίησεν Ὁζᾶν ὁ ἐκ Βαιθήλ· ἐν τῷ Ἀβιρὼν τῷ πρωτοτόκῳ ἐθεμελίωσεν αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐν τῷ ἐλαχίστῳ διασωθέντι ἐπέστησε τὰς πύλας αὐτῆς.
