seven times Thou on Joshuas com mand the people shouted and the priests blew with the trumpets and It came to pass when the people heard the sound of the trumpet that the peo ple shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat so that the peo ple went up Into the city every man straight before him and they took the city destroying all that was In it ex cept Itahab the harlot who had den the
