Joshua 8:2-12

2You shall doH6213 to AiH5857 and its kingH4428 justH3512 as you didH6213 to JerichoH3405 and its kingH4428; you shall 1takeH962 onlyH7534 its spoilH7998 and its cattleH929 as plunderH962 for yourselves. 2SetH7760 an ambushH693 for the cityH5892 behindH4480H310 it.”

3So JoshuaH3091 roseH6965 with allH3605 the peopleH5971 of warH4421 to goH5927 up to AiH5857; and JoshuaH3091 choseH977 30,000H7970H505 menH376, valiantH2428 warriorsH1368, and sentH7971 them out at nightH3915. 4He commandedH6680 them, sayingH559, “SeeH7200, you are 3going to ambushH693 the cityH5892 from behindH310 4it. Do not goH7368 veryH3966 farH7368 from the cityH5892, but allH3605 of you be readyH3559. 5Then I and allH3605 the peopleH5971 whoH834 are with me will approachH7126 the cityH5892. And whenH3588 they comeH3318 out to meetH7122 us as at the firstH7223, 5we will fleeH5127 beforeH6440 them. 6They will comeH3318 out afterH310 us untilH5704 we have drawnH5423 them awayH5423 from the cityH5892, for they will sayH559, ‘They are fleeingH5127 beforeH6440 us as at the firstH7223.’ So we will fleeH5127 beforeH6440 them. 7And you shall riseH6965 from your ambushH693 and takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the cityH5892, for the LordH3068 your GodH430 will deliverH5414 it into your handH3027. 8Then it will be when you have seizedH8610 the cityH5892, that you shall setH3341 the cityH5892 on fireH784. You shall doH6213 it 6according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068. SeeH7200, I have commandedH6680 you.” 9So JoshuaH3091 sentH7971 them awayH7971, and they wentH1980 to the place of ambushH3993 and remainedH3427 betweenH996 BethelH1008 and AiH5857, on the westH3220 sideH3220 of AiH5857; but JoshuaH3091 spentH3885 that nightH3915 amongH8432 the peopleH5971.

10Now JoshuaH3091 7roseH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and musteredH6485 the peopleH5971, and he wentH5927 up with the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971 to AiH5857. 11Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 of warH4421 whoH834 were with him wentH5927 up and drewH5066 nearH5066 and arrivedH935 in frontH5048 of the cityH5892, and campedH2583 on the northH6828 sideH6828 of AiH5857. Now there was a valleyH1516 betweenH996 him and AiH5857. 12And he tookH3947 about 5,000H2568H505 menH376 and setH7760 them in ambushH693 betweenH996 8BethelH1008 and AiH5857, on the westH3220 sideH3220 of the 9cityH5892.
