According to the author of the book, Joshua, this verse tells how God's special box, called the ark, was carried around the city one time while everyone was quiet. Then, they went back to their tents to rest.

Joshua 6:11: So the ark of the LORD compassed the city, going about [it] once: and they came into the camp, and lodged in the camp.

Contradiction with 2 Corinthians 5:7

This verse emphasizes living by faith and not by sight, contrasting with Joshua 6:11's focus on physical actions and rituals.

2 Corinthians 5:7: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

Contradiction with James 2:24

This verse stresses the importance of works as part of faith, whereas Joshua 6:11 describes silent, seemingly passive action without immediate explanation.

James 2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Contradiction with Proverbs 21:31

This verse highlights preparing and relying on the Lord for victory, unlike Joshua 6:11 which involves following specific instructions with no explicit mention of reliance on God beyond obedience.

Proverbs 21:31: The horse [is] prepared against the day of battle: but safety [is] of the LORD. [safety: or, victory]

Contradiction with Isaiah 55:8-9

God's ways are higher and different from human ways, which contrasts with the seemingly simple marching order in Joshua 6:11.

Isaiah 55:8-9: For my thoughts [are] not your thoughts, neither [are] your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

Contradiction with Romans 8:28

This verse suggests all things work together for good for those who love God, potentially contradicting the idea of simply marching silently without understanding at that moment in Joshua 6:11.

Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to [his] purpose.
