Word of the Day - 4/11/2008

Stentorian

Stentorian means very loud or powerful in sound: a stentorian voice.

The Israelites’ first military conquest in the Promised Land came when the stentorian shouts of the people and blasts from the priests’ trumpets signaled fall of the walls of Jericho. (Joshua 6)

So the people shouted, and priests blew the trumpets; and when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, the people shouted with a great shout and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight ahead, and they took the city. (Johusa 6:20, NASB)
