Joshua 8:4-9
4with these ordersH6680: “Pay attentionH7200. YouH859 are to lie in ambushH693 behindH310 the cityH5892, notH408 tooH3966 farH7368 from itH5892. All of youH3605 must beH1961 readyH3559. 5Then IH589 and allH3605 the troopsH5971 with meH854 will advanceH7126H413 on the cityH5892H1961. WhenH3588 they come outH3318 against usH7122 asH834 they did the first timeH7223, we will fleeH5127 from themH6440. 6They will pursue usH3318H310 untilH5704 we have drawn them awayH5423 fromH4480 the cityH5892, forH3588 they will sayH559, ‘The Israelites are running awayH5127 from usH6440 as they did beforeH834H7223.’ So as we fleeH5127 from themH6440, 7youH859 are to riseH6965 from the ambushH693 and seizeH3423 the cityH5892, for the LORDH3068 your GodH430 will deliver itH5414 into your handH3027. 8AndH1961 when you have takenH8610 the cityH5892, set itH5892 on fireH3341. DoH6213 as the LORDH3068 has commandedH1697! SeeH7200, I have given you ordersH6680.”
9So JoshuaH3091 sent them outH7971, and they wentH1980 toH413 the place of ambushH3993 and lay in waitH3427 betweenH996 BethelH1008 andH996 AiH5857, to the westH3220 of AiH5857. ButH3091 Joshua spentH3885 thatH1931 nightH3915 amongH8432 the peopleH5971.
