Joshua 8:3-9

3And JoshuaH3091 aroseH6965, and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421, to goH5927 up to Ai. And JoshuaH3091 choseH977 thirtyH7970 thousandH505 valiant menH376, and sentH7971 them awayH7971 by nightH3915.

4And he commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, SeeH7200, ye shall beH1961 in ambushH693 against the cityH5892, behind the cityH5892: go not veryH3966 farH7368 from the cityH5892, and beH1961 all of you ready.

5And I and all the peopleH5971 that are with me will approach to 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 from the cityH5892; for they will sayH559, They fleeH5127 before us, as at the firstH7223; and we will fleeH5127 before them.

7And ye shall riseH6965 up from the ambushH693 and takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the cityH5892; and Jehovah your 1GodH430 will deliver it into your handH3027.

8And it shall beH1961 when ye have taken 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 lie in ambushH3993, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the westH3220 of Ai. And JoshuaH3091 lodged that nightH3915 among the peopleH5971.
