SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:3
Cercaréis pues la ciudad todos los hombres de guerra, yendo alrededor de la ciudad una vez; y esto haréis seis días.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 6:3
Verse 3. Ye shall compass the city] In what order the people marched round the city does not exactly appear from the text. Some think they observed the same order as in their ordinary marches in the desert; (see the note on Num. x. 14, and see the plans, Num. ii. 2;) others think that the soldiers marched first, then the priests who blew the trumpets, then those who carried the ark, and lastly the people.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And ye shall compass the city, all [ye] men of war , etc.] Joshua their chief commander under the Lord, and all that were able to make war, even all above twenty years of age; these were to compass the city, not in the form of a siege, but by a procession around it: [and] go round about the city once ; or one time, for the first once in a day, and no more: thus shall thou do six days ; one after another; that is, go round it, once every day, for such a time. This order was given, according to the Jews f82 , the twenty second of Nisan, after the feast of unleavened bread was over.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-5 - Jericho resolves Israel shall not be its master. It shut itself up being strongly fortified both by art and nature. Thus were the foolish, and their hearts hardened to their destruction; the miserabl case of all that strengthen themselves against the Almighty. God resolves Israel shall be its master, and that quickly. No warlik preparations were to be made. By the uncommon method of besieging the city, the Lord honoured the ark, as the symbol of his presence, an showed that all the victories were from him. The faith and patience of the people were proved and increased.
