Joshua 8:2-12

2You shall doH6213 to AiH5857 and its kingH4428 justH3512 asH3512 you didH6213 to JerichoH3405 and its kingH4428; you shall 1takeH962 onlyH7534 its spoilsH7998 and its cattleH929 as plunderH962 for yourselves. 2SetH7760 an ambushH693 for the cityH5892 behindH4480H310 it.”

3So JoshuaH3091 roseH6965 upH6965 with allH3605 the peopleH5971 of warH4421 to goH5927 upH5927 to AiH5857; and JoshuaH3091 choseH977 thirtyH7970 thousandH505 menH376, valiantH2428 warriorsH1368, and sentH7971 them outH7971 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 outH3318 to meetH7122 us as they did the firstH7223 time, 5we will fleeH5127 beforeH6440 them. 6They will comeH3318 outH3318 afterH310 us untilH5704 we have luredH5423 them awayH5423 from the cityH5892, for they will sayH559, ‘They are fleeingH5127 beforeH6440 us justH3512 asH3512 they did the firstH7223 timeH7223.’ So we will fleeH5127 beforeH6440 them. 7Then you shall riseH6965 from your ambushH693 and takeH3423 possessionH3423 of the cityH5892, for the LordH3068 your GodH430 will handH3027H5414 it overH5414 to you. 8Then it will be when you have seizedH8610 the cityH5892, that you shall setH3341 the cityH5892 on fireH784. You shall doH6213 it 6in accordance with 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 7gotH7925 upH7925 earlyH7925 in the morningH1242 and musteredH6485 the peopleH5971, and he wentH5927 upH5927 with the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 beforeH6440 the peopleH5971 to AiH5857. 11Then allH3605 the peopleH5971 of warH4421 whoH834 were with him wentH5927 upH5927 and approachedH5066, and arrivedH935 in frontH5048 of the cityH5892; and they campedH2583 on the northH6828 sideH6828 of AiH5857. And there was a valleyH1516 betweenH996 him and AiH5857. 12Then he tookH3947 about fiveH2568 thousandH505 menH376 and setH7760 them inH693 ambushH693 betweenH996 8BethelH1008 and AiH5857, on the westH3220 sideH3220 of the 9cityH5892.
