Joshua 7:2-5

2Meanwhile, JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 menH582 from JerichoH3405 to AiH5857, whichH834 is nearH5973 Beth-avenH1007 to the eastH6924 of BethelH1008, and told themH559H413, “Go upH5927 and spy outH7270 the landH776.” So the menH582 went upH5927 and spied outH7270 AiH5857.

3On returningH7725 toH413 JoshuaH3091, they reportedH559H413, “There is no needH408H5927 to send allH3605 the peopleH5971; twoH505 orH176 threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 are enough to go upH5927 and attackH5221 AiH5857. SinceH3588 the people of AiH1992 are so fewH4592, you need notH408 wear outH3021 allH3605 our peopleH5971 thereH8033.”

4So about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 went upH5927H4480H5971H8033, but they fledH5127 beforeH6440 the menH582 of AiH5857. 5And the menH376 of AiH5857 struck downH5221H582 about thirty-six of themH7970H8337, chasing themH7291 fromH6440 the gateH8179 as far asH5704 the quarriesH76711 and striking them downH5221 on the slopesH4174. So the heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549 and becameH1961 like waterH4325.
