Never was a siege so strangely conducted
The process was az follows:
/. The armed soldiers were to go in ad-
vance.
:. Following this were seven priests blow
ing rams horns.
8. Then came the ark of the covenant
borne by priests.
4. Finally ollowed the "rearward" or
probably unarmed citizens.
In this order, in perfect silence, except the
blowing of rams horns, were they to compass
the city every day for seven days. On the
seventh day they were to compass the city
seven times in the same way, until the sew
enth round when at the command of Joshua,
the people were to shout with n great shout.
These directions were strictly observed, and

pie went up into the city, every man straight

Having fixed his tents at Gilgali, between
the Jordan and Jericho, and complied with
these religious rites In obedience to the
command OF the Lord, as a wise general, we
find Joshua taking in the full situation and
planning for the conquest Of the promised
land. Finding himself cut of from retreat
by the returning waves Of Jordan at food
tide, and in his immediate front the strong
walled city of Jericho, he was evidently
accommodating the out posts Of the city with
the view OF Its capture, when he came sud
denly upon the "Captain of the Lords host,
with his sword drawn in his hand" Joshua
Immediately fell on his face and w%orshlped,
and inquired; "What sayeth my Lord unto
his servantH" He was told that the place
whereon he stood was holy, and was ordered
to ''loose his shoe from OF his foot" The
Lord then revealed to Joshua that the king
Of Jericho and all the mighty men OF valor

him specifically the means of the capture.
