Joshua 6:14
"The seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns in front of the LORD’s ark went on continually, and blew the trumpets. The armed men went in front of them. The rear guard came after the LORD’s ark. The trumpets sounded as they went."
Key Reflection
In Joshua 6:14, the seven priests carrying rams’ horns led the procession in front of the ark, signaling a sacred and solemn ritual. The armed men followed them to protect the ark, ensuring its safe passage. The rear guard brought up the rear as the trumpets sounded continuously, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle that would have underscored the divine presence accompanying the Israelites into Jericho—a display designed to both intimidate the enemy and affirm God’s active involvement in their conquest.
