And it came to pass, when Joshua had spoken unto the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams' horns passed on before the LORD, and blew with the trumpets: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 6 of Joshua. For six days Israel marches around Jericho once each day. The priests, trumpets, and ark occupy the center of the procession, while the army remains silent. The repetition creates narrative tension and teaches a form of patient obedience: Israel must not improvise its own strategy. The silence of the people contrasts with the ritual activity of the priests and prepares for the decisive moment of the seventh day.

E quando Giosuè ebbe detto questo al popolo, i sette sacerdoti, portando sette trombe da sonar suono d’allegrezza davanti al Signore, passarono oltre, e sonarono con le trombe; e l’Arca del Patto del Signore andava dietro a loro.
