Joshua 6:6

Marathi MARVBSI (पवित्र शास्त्र RV (Re-edited) Bible (BSI))

नंतर नूनाचा मुलगा यहोशवा ह्याने याजकांना बोलावून म्हटले, “कराराचा कोश उचलून घ्या आणि सात याजक सात रणशिंगे घेऊन परमेश्वराच्या कोशापुढे चाला.”

What Does This Mean?

Joshua, the leader of the Israelites, tells the priests to bring the ark of the covenant and have seven priests carry seven trumpets of rams' horns in front of it. This is part of a plan to take the city of Jericho.

Explained for Children

Imagine you're playing a game where you need to get past a big, locked door. Joshua is telling the priests to carry a special treasure box and have some friends play loud trumpets to help them win the game.

Historical Background

The book of Joshua was written by Joshua or possibly by someone recording his words, shortly after the events it describes. It was written for the Israelites to remember their journey and the miraculous ways God helped them conquer Canaan.

Living It Out Today

Just as Joshua planned strategically to take Jericho, we can plan strategically to overcome challenges in our lives. For example, setting goals, making a plan, and asking for help can guide us to success, much like the Israelites needed the ark and trumpets to succeed.
