Joshua. Joshua et Hiericho.
Douay-Rheims translation
6:1 Now Jericho was close shut up and fenced, for fear of the children of
Israel, and no man durst go out or come in.
6:2 And the Lord said to Josue: Behold I have given into thy hands Jericho,
and the king thereof, and all the valiant men.
6:3 Go round about the city, all ye fighting men, once a day: so shall ye
do for six days.
6:4 And on the seventh day the priests shall take the seven trumpets, which
are used in the jubilee, and shall go before the ark of the covenant: and
you shall go about the city seven times, and the priests shall sound the trumpets.
6:5 And when the voice of the trumpet shall give a longer and broken tune,
and shall sound in your ears, all the people shall shout together with a very
great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall to the ground, and they
shall enter in every one at the place against which they shall stand.

6:16 And when in the seventh going about the priests sounded with the trumpets,
Josue said to all Israel: Shout: for the Lord hath delivered the city to you:
6:17 And let this city be an anathema, and all things that are in it, to the
Lord. Let only Rahab the harlot live, with all that are with her in the house:
for she hid the messengers whom we sent.
6:18 But beware ye lest you touch ought of those things that are forbidden,
and you be guilty of transgression, and all the camp of Israel be under sin,
and be troubled.
6:19 But whatsoever gold or silver there shall be, or vessels of brass and
iron, let it be consecrated to the Lord, laid up in his treasures.
6:20 So all the people making a shout, and the trumpets sounding, when the
voice and the sound thundered in the ears of the multitude, the walls forthwith
fell down: and every man went up by the place that was over against him: and
they took the city,
6:21 And killed all that were in it, man and woman, young and old. The oxen
also and the sheep, and the asses, they slew with the edge of the sword.
6:22 But Josue said to the two men that had been sent for spies: Go into the
harlot's house, and bring her out, and all things that are hers, as you assured
her by oath.
6:23 And the young men went in and brought out Rahab, and her parents, her
brethren also and all her goods and her kindred, and made them to stay without
the camp.
6:24 But they burned the city, and all things that were therein; except the
gold and silver, and vessels of brass and iron, which they consecrated into
the treasury of the Lord.
6:25 But Josue saved Rahab the harlot and her father's house, and all she
had, and they dwelt in the midst of Israel until this present day: because
she hid the messengers whom he had sent to spy out Jericho.
