Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Joshua 6:15

_ _ on the seventh day, that they rose early about the dawning of the day, and compassed the city ... seven times — on account of the seven circuits they had to make that day. It is evident, however, that the militia only of the Israelites had been called to the march — for it is inconceivable that two millions of people could have gone so frequently round the city in a day.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 6:6-16.
