Israel’s Strategy 1. The first instruction: that the army was to march around
the city once a day for six 2. The second instruction: seven priests were to bear seven
trumpets of ram’s horn before the ark, They were to blow these horns as the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord followed them. The number 7 is repeated three times in v 14—meaning: totality, completion and perfection.
3. _ The third instruction: The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, __and the rear guard came after the ark, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets

Israel’s Strategy 4. The fourth instruction: the seven priests were to march seven times
on the seventh day— 5. The fifth command: Now Joshua had commanded the people,
saying, “You shall not shout or make any noise with your voice, nor shall a word proceed out of your mouth, until the day I say to you, ‘Shout!’ Then you shall shout.” WAR CRY!!
6. The sixth instruction: that each warrior was to attack the city straight ahead after the trumpets blew and the walls fell,
7. Seventh instruction: Do not take any of the things set apart for destruction, or you yourselves will be completely destroyed, and you will bring trouble on the camp of Israel. 19 Everything made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron is sacred to the Lord and must be brought into his treasury.”
