John Gill

1697–1771

Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the Lord,.... See Gill on Jos 6:4, went on continually; or, "going they went" (b): kept on going, making no stop at all, until they had compassed the city: and blew with the trumpets; as they went along: and the armed men went before them, but the rereward came after the ark of the Lord; which the Targum paraphrases as on Jos 6:9, the priests going on, and blowing with the trumpets; See Gill on Jos 6:9.
