Joshua 6:15
"And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city after the same manner seven times: only on that day they compassed the city seven times."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And it came to pass on the seventh day,.... Which Jarchi says was the Sabbath day, and which is a common notion of the Jews (c); but whether it was or not, it is certain that one of these

seven days must be a sabbath, in which the several things ordered were done, and the procession made. Kimchi observes, that their Rabbins say this was the sabbath day; and he adds, what is pretty remarkable,"though they slew and burnt on the sabbath day, he that commanded the sabbath commanded to profane the sabbath in the subduing of Jericho;''with which compare what our Lord says, Mat 12:3 , that they rose early, about the dawning of the day; having seven times the work to do they did on the other six days: and compassed the city after the same manner seven times; after the same manner as they had done the six preceding days: only on that day they compassed the city seven times; whereas on the other days they only went round it once, which distinguished this day from the rest. (c) Seder Olam Rabba, c. 11. p. 31. Bemidbar Rabba, sect. 14. fol. 312. 2.
