I woke up this morning and there is excitement in the air for I could overhear the man speaking that today the walls would come down.26

I’m standing near Joshua and I hear him say take up the ark and have the priest carry seven trumpets before it. Joshua is now telling the people go! March around the enclosure. 59

We all begin marching. We marched around the city once and then twice and then three times,four, five and six more times but on the seventh something exciting was supposed to happen! On that seventh time around Joshua said to the people shout and we shouted !106
