Verse 3
And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war ,.... 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 F23 Seder Olam Rabba, c. 11. p. 31. , the twenty second of Nisan, after the feast of unleavened bread was over.
