Josué 6

Nueva Biblia Viva

de Biblica
1 Los habitantes de Jericó mantenían las puertas de la ciudad bien cerradas porque tenían miedo de los israelitas. Nadie podía salir ni entrar. Entonces el SEÑOR le dijo a Josué: 2 «Jericó, su rey, y todos sus guerreros ya están derrotados, porque los he entregado en tus manos. 3 Los hombres que puedan pelear caminarán alrededor de la ciudad una vez al día durante seis días. 4 Lo harán con siete sacerdotes que caminarán delante del cofre, cada uno con una trompeta hecha de cuerno de carnero. En el séptimo día caminarán siete veces alrededor de la ciudad, y los sacerdotes irán tocando sus trompetas. 5 Entonces, cuando ellos den un trompetazo largo y estridente, todo el pueblo dará un gran grito y las murallas de la ciudad caerán; entonces entrarán en la ciudad desde todas las direcciones». 6-9 Josué reunió a los sacerdotes y les dio las instrucciones: «Los hombres armados irán a la cabeza de la procesión, seguidos por los siete sacerdotes que tocarán continuamente sus trompetas. Detrás de ellos irán los sacerdotes que transportan el cofre, seguidos por una retaguardia». 10 Josué entonces ordenó: «¡Que haya completo silencio y no se oiga otra cosa que el sonido de las trompetas! Ninguna otra palabra saldrá de su boca hasta que les ordene gritar; y entonces, ¡griten!». 11 El cofre fue transportado alrededor de la ciudad ese día, después de lo cual cada uno regresó al campamento a pasar la noche allí. 12-14 A la madrugada del día siguiente se levantaron, y marchando en el mismo orden del día anterior, rodearon la ciudad y regresaron nuevamente al campamento. Siguieron haciéndolo así durante seis días. 15 Al amanecer del séptimo día comenzaron nuevamente, pero esta vez dieron siete vueltas alrededor de la ciudad en lugar de una. 16 La séptima vez, mientras los sacerdotes tocaban sus trompetas, Josué ordenó a la gente: «¡Griten! ¡El SEÑOR nos ha entregado la ciudad!». 17 Él les había dicho previamente: «Mátenlos a todos, menos a Rajab la prostituta y a los que estén en su casa, porque ella protegió a nuestros espías. 18 No tomen botín porque todo debe ser destruido. Si no lo hacen, toda la nación de Israel sufrirá un gran desastre. 19 Pero todo el oro, la plata y los utensilios de bronce y de hierro serán consagrados al SEÑOR y serán llevados a su tesorería». 20 Cuando el pueblo oyó el sonido de las trompetas, gritaron lo más fuerte que pudieron. Repentinamente las murallas de Jericó se derrumbaron delante de ellos, y el pueblo de Israel entró en la ciudad desde todas direcciones y la capturaron. 21 Destruyeron cuanto había en ella: hombres, mujeres, ancianos y jóvenes; bueyes, ovejas y burros, en una palabra, todo. 22 Entonces Josué les dijo a los espías: «Cumplan lo prometido. Vayan y rescaten a la prostituta y a todos los que están con ella». 23 Los jóvenes la encontraron y la sacaron, juntamente con su padre, su madre, sus hermanos, posesiones y todos los parientes que estaban con ella, y los instalaron fuera del campamento de Israel. 24 Luego quemaron la ciudad y todo lo que había en ella, salvo lo que era de plata, oro, bronce y hierro, que fue guardado para entregarlo en la tesorería del SEÑOR. 25 De esta manera Josué salvó a Rajab la prostituta y a los familiares que estaban con ella en su casa. Todavía viven entre los israelitas porque ella escondió a los espías que Josué envió a Jericó. 26 Entonces Josué lanzó una terrible maldición sobre cualquiera que reedificara la ciudad de Jericó. Advirtió que cuando fueran puestos los cimientos, el hijo mayor del constructor moriría, y cuando fueran colocadas las puertas moriría el hijo menor. 27 El SEÑOR estaba con Josué, y su nombre se hizo famoso en todas partes.

Josué 6

English Standard Version

de Crossway
1 Now Jericho was shut up inside and outside because of the people of Israel. None went out, and none came in. 2 And the Lord said to Joshua, “See, I have given Jericho into your hand, with its king and mighty men of valor. (Dt 7:24; Jos 2:9; Jos 2:24; Jos 8:1; Neh 9:24) 3 You shall march around the city, all the men of war going around the city once. Thus shall you do for six days. 4 Seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. On the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets. (Nm 10:8; Jos 6:5; Jos 6:8; Jos 6:13; Jue 7:16; Jue 7:22) 5 And when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, when you hear the sound of the trumpet, then all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the wall of the city will fall down flat,[1] and the people shall go up, everyone straight before him.” 6 So Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord.” 7 And he said to the people, “Go forward. March around the city and let the armed men pass on before the ark of the Lord.” (Jos 4:12) 8 And just as Joshua had commanded the people, the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the Lord went forward, blowing the trumpets, with the ark of the covenant of the Lord following them. 9 The armed men were walking before the priests who were blowing the trumpets, and the rear guard was walking after the ark, while the trumpets blew continually. (Nm 10:25; Jos 6:13; Is 52:12; Is 58:8) 10 But Joshua commanded the people, “You shall not shout or make your voice heard, neither shall any word go out of your mouth, until the day I tell you to shout. Then you shall shout.” 11 So he caused the ark of the Lord to circle the city, going about it once. And they came into the camp and spent the night in the camp. 12 Then Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. (Jos 3:6) 13 And the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord walked on, and they blew the trumpets continually. And the armed men were walking before them, and the rear guard was walking after the ark of the Lord, while the trumpets blew continually. 14 And the second day they marched around the city once, and returned into the camp. So they did for six days. 15 On the seventh day they rose early, at the dawn of day, and marched around the city in the same manner seven times. It was only on that day that they marched around the city seven times. 16 And at the seventh time, when the priests had blown the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city. 17 And the city and all that is within it shall be devoted to the Lord for destruction.[2] Only Rahab the prostitute and all who are with her in her house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent. (Lv 27:28; Dt 20:17; Jos 2:4) 18 But you, keep yourselves from the things devoted to destruction, lest when you have devoted them you take any of the devoted things and make the camp of Israel a thing for destruction and bring trouble upon it. (Jos 7:12; Jos 7:25; 1 Cr 2:7) 19 But all silver and gold, and every vessel of bronze and iron, are holy to the Lord; they shall go into the treasury of the Lord.” 20 So the people shouted, and the trumpets were blown. As soon as the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they captured the city. (Jos 6:5; Heb 11:30) 21 Then they devoted all in the city to destruction, both men and women, young and old, oxen, sheep, and donkeys, with the edge of the sword. (Dt 7:2) 22 But to the two men who had spied out the land, Joshua said, “Go into the prostitute’s house and bring out from there the woman and all who belong to her, as you swore to her.” (Jos 2:14; Heb 11:31) 23 So the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and mother and brothers and all who belonged to her. And they brought all her relatives and put them outside the camp of Israel. (Jos 2:13) 24 And they burned the city with fire, and everything in it. Only the silver and gold, and the vessels of bronze and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the Lord. (Jos 6:19) 25 But Rahab the prostitute and her father’s household and all who belonged to her, Joshua saved alive. And she has lived in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho. (Mt 1:5) 26 Joshua laid an oath on them at that time, saying, “Cursed before the Lord be the man who rises up and rebuilds this city, Jericho. “At the cost of his firstborn shall he lay its foundation, and at the cost of his youngest son shall he set up its gates.” (1 R 16:34) 27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame was in all the land. (Jos 1:5; Jos 9:9)
