Instead of the dreadful trumpet of war, they were ordered to sound the trumpet of joy, as already conquerors. 25:9; Numbers 10:1-10; Judges 7:7, 7:8, 7:15-22; 2 Chronicles 13:12, 20:17, 20:19, 20:21; Isaiah 27:13; Zechariah 4:6 seven timesGenesis 2:3, 7:2, 7:3; Leviticus 4:6, 14:16, 25:8; Numbers 23:1; 1 Kings 18:43; 2 Kings 5:10; Job 42:8; Zechariah 4:2; Revelation 1:4, 1:20, 5:1, 5:6, 8:2, 8:6, 10:3, 15:1, 15:7, 16:1ReciprocalNumbers 10:8 - General; 31:6 - the holy instruments; Joshua 6:8 - before the Lord; 6:15 - only on that day; Judges 7:20 - blew; 7:22 - blew; 1 Samuel 4:3 - Let us; 2 Samuel 6:15 - the sound; 15:24 - bearing; 2 Kings 4:29 - lay my staff; 2 Chronicles 6:41 - the ark; 7:6 - the priests; 29:26 - the priests; Nehemiah 12:35 - with trumpets; Zechariah 9:14 - blow; 1 Corinthians 14:8 - General Verse 5make a longJoshua 6:16, 6:20; Exodus 19:19; 2 Chronicles 20:21, 20:22 the peopleJudges 7:20-22; 1 Samuel 4:5, 17:20, 17:52; 2 Chronicles 13:14, 13:15; Jeremiah 50:15 and the wallThe words wenaphelah chomath hair tachteyha, are literally, "and the wall of the city shall fall down under itself;" which appears simply to mean, that the wall shall fall down from its very foundation; which was probably the case in every part, though large breaches in different places might have been amply sufficient first to admit the armed men, after whom the host might enter to destroy the city. There is no ground for the supposition that the walls sunk into the earth.

In all public calamities infants are involved; and tens of thousands of infants die in great agony every year. Now, either God is not the agent in these calamities - which opinion, though often implied in men's reasonings on these subjects, is not far from atheism
or they must consist with the most perfect justice and goodness.utterlyJoshua 9:24, 9:25, 10:28, 10:39, 11:14; Deuteronomy 2:34, 7:2, 7:3, 7:16, 20:16, 20:17; 1 Samuel 15:3, 15:8, 15:18, 15:19; 1 Kings 20:42; Psalm 137:8, 137:9; Jeremiah 48:18; Revelation 18:21ReciprocalNumbers 31:15 - General; Joshua 7:24 - his sons; 8:2 - do to Ai; 8:22 - let none; 10:1 - as he had; 10:29 - Libnah; 1 Samuel 22:19 - men; 27:9 - and the camels; Jeremiah 44:7 - to cut; Lamentations 2:21 - young Verse 22JoshuaJoshua 6:17, 2:1-24 as ye sware unto her2:12-14, 2:17-20, 9:15, 9:18-20; 2 Samuel 21:2, 21:7; Psalm 15:4; Ezekiel 17:13, 17:16, 17:18; 17:19; Habakkuk 3:1ReciprocalGenesis 19:12 - Hast; 19:16 - brought; Judges 1:25 - they smote; Ezekiel 9:6 - but; Matthew 1:5 - Rachab; James 2:25 - when Verse 23out RahabJoshua 2:18; Genesis 12:2, 18:24, 19:29; Acts 27:24; Habakkuk 3:1 kindredHeb. familiesleft themNumbers 5:2, 5:3, 31:19; Acts 10:28; 1 Corinthians 5:12; Ephesians 2:12ReciprocalGenesis 19:12 - Hast; 42:9 - Ye are spies; Joshua 6:17 - because Verse 24burntJoshua 8:28; Deuteronomy 13:16; 2 Kings 25:9; Revelation 17:16, 18:8 only the silverJoshua 6:19ReciprocalNumbers 31:10 - General; 31:28 - levy; Deuteronomy 13:15 - destroying it utterly; Joshua 8:8 - set the city; 2 Samuel 10:5 - Jericho; 1 Kings 15:13 - and burnt; 1 Chronicles 19:5 - at Jericho; Luke 21:1 - the treasury Verse 25RahabJoshua 11:19, 11:20; Judges 1:24, 1:25; Acts 2:21; Habakkuk 3:1 she dwellethMatthew 1:5 untoJoshua 4:9 becauseJames 2:25ReciprocalJoshua 2:1 - harlot's house; 2:14 - when the Lord Verse 26adjuredThis is to be regarded as a prediction, that he who rebuilded this city should lose all his children in the interim between the laying of the foundation to the completion of the walls.
