Joshua 8:17-18
Context8:17 No men were left in Ai or Bethel; 1 they all went out after Israel. 2 They left the city wide open and chased Israel.
8:18 The Lord told Joshua, “Hold out toward Ai the curved sword in your hand, for I am handing the city 3 over to you.” So Joshua held out toward Ai the curved sword in his hand.
