Joshua 7:3-5

3And they returnedH7725 to JoshuaH3091, and saidH559 unto him, Let not all the peopleH5971 go upH5927; but let about two or threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376 go upH5927 and smiteH5221 AiH5857; and make not all the peopleH5971 to labourH3021 thither; for they are but fewH4592.1

4So there went upH5927 thither of the peopleH5971 about threeH7969 thousandH505 menH376: and they fledH5127 beforeH6440 the menH582 of AiH5857.

5And the menH582 of AiH5857 smoteH5221 of them about thirtyH7970 and sixH8337 menH376: for they chasedH7291 them from beforeH6440 the gateH8179 even unto ShebarimH7671, and smoteH5221 them in the going downH4174: wherefore the heartsH3824 of the peopleH5971 meltedH4549, and became as waterH4325.2
