Joshua 8:15-22
15And JoshuaH3091 and all IsraelH3478 made as if they were beatenH5060 beforeH6440 them, and fledH5127 by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057. 16And all the peopleH5971 that were in AiH5857H5892 were calledH2199 together to pursueH7291H310 them: and they pursuedH7291H310 JoshuaH3091, and were drawn awayH5423 from the cityH5892. 17And there was not a manH376 leftH7604 in AiH5857 or BethelH1008, that went not outH3318 afterH310 IsraelH3478: and they leftH5800 the cityH5892 openH6605, and pursuedH7291 IsraelH3478. 18And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, Stretch outH5186 the spearH3591 that is in thy handH3027 toward AiH5857; for I will giveH5414 it into thy handH3027. And JoshuaH3091 stretched outH5186 the spearH3591 that he had in his handH3027 toward the cityH5892. 19And the ambushH693 aroseH6965 quicklyH4120 out of their placeH4725, and they ranH7323 as soon as he had stretched outH5186 his handH3027: and they enteredH935 into the cityH5892, and tookH3920 it, and hastedH4116 and setH3341 the cityH5892 on fireH784. 20And when the menH582 of AiH5857 lookedH6437 behindH310 them, they sawH7200, and, behold, the smokeH6227 of the cityH5892 ascendedH5927 to heavenH8064, and they had no powerH3027 to fleeH5127 this way or that wayH2008: and the peopleH5971 that fledH5127 to the wildernessH4057 turned backH2015 upon the pursuersH7291.1 21And when JoshuaH3091 and all IsraelH3478 sawH7200 that the ambushH693 had takenH3920 the cityH5892, and that the smokeH6227 of the cityH5892 ascendedH5927, then they turned againH7725, and slewH5221 the menH582 of AiH5857. 22And the otherH428 issued outH3318 of the cityH5892 againstH7125 them; so they were in the midstH8432 of IsraelH3478, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smoteH5221 them, so thatH5704 they letH7604 none of them remainH8300 or escapeH6412.
