Wesley's Notes

6:6 Of rams horns - Of the basest matter, and the dullest sound, that the excellency of the power might be of God.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

6, 7. Joshua . called the priests-The pious leader, whatever military preparations he had made, surrendered all his own views, at once and unreservedly, to the declared will of God.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

6:6-16 Wherever the ark went, the people attended it. God's ministers, by the trumpet of the everlasting gospel, which proclaims liberty and victory, must encourage the followers of Christ in their spiritual warfare. As promised deliverances must be expected in God's way, so they must be expected in his time. At last the people were to shout: they did so, and the walls fell. This was a shout of faith; they believed the walls of Jericho would fall. It was a shout of prayer; they cry to Heaven for help, and help came.


Joshua 6:5 "It shall be that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when you hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city will fall down flat, and the people will go up every man straight ahead."
Joshua 6:7 Then he said to the people, "Go forward, and march around the city, and let the armed men go on before the ark of the LORD." (NASB ©1995)
