Joshua 8:2-12

2and thou shalt do to Ai and her kingH4428 as thou didst unto JerichoH3405 and her kingH4428: onlyH7535 the spoilH7998 thereof, and the cattleH929 thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: setH7760 thee an ambushH693 for the cityH5892 behind it.

3So JoshuaH3091 aroseH6965, and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421, to goH5927 up to Ai: and JoshuaH3091 choseH977 out thirtyH7970 thousandH505 menH376, the mightyH1368 menH376 of valor, and sentH7971 them forthH7971 by nightH3915. 4And he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, Behold, ye shall lieH693 in ambushH693 against the cityH5892, behind the cityH5892; go not veryH3966 farH7368 from the cityH5892, but beH1961 ye all ready: 5and I, and all the peopleH5971 that are with me, will approach unto the cityH5892. And it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the firstH7223, that we will fleeH5127 before them; 6and they will comeH3318 out after us, till we have drawn them away from the cityH5892; for they will sayH559, They fleeH5127 before us, as at the firstH7223: so we will fleeH5127 before them; 7and ye shall riseH6965 up from the ambushH693, and takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the cityH5892: for Jehovah your GodH430 will deliver it into your handH3027. 8And it shall beH1961, when ye have seizedH8610 upon the cityH5892, that ye shall setH3341 the cityH5892 on fireH784; according to the wordH1697 of Jehovah shall ye do: seeH7200, I have commandedH6680 you. 9And JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 them forthH7971; and they went to the ambushment, and abode between Beth-el and Ai, on the westH3220 side of Ai: but JoshuaH3091 lodged that nightH3915 among the peopleH5971.

10And JoshuaH3091 arose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and musteredH6485 the peopleH5971, and wentH5927 up, he and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, before the peopleH5971 to Ai. 11And all the peopleH5971, eventhemen ofwarH4421 that were with him, wentH935 up, and drewH5066 nigh, and cameH935 before the cityH5892, and encampedH2583 on the northH6828 side of Ai: now there was a valleyH1516 between him and Ai. 12And he tookH3947 about fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376, and setH7760 them in ambushH693 between Beth-el and Ai, on the westH3220 side of the cityH5892.
