Joshua 8:1-35

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Fear
<03372> (8799)

not, neither be thou dismayed
<02865> (8735)_:

take
<03947> (8798)

all the people
<05971>

of war
<04421>

with thee, and arise
<06965> (8798)_,

go up
<05927> (8798)

to Ai
<05857>_:

see
<07200> (8798)_,

I have given
<05414> (8804)

into thy hand
<03027>

the king
<04428>

of Ai
<05857>_,

and his people
<05971>_,

and his city
<05892>_,

and his land
<0776>_:

And thou shalt do
<06213> (8804)

to Ai
<05857>

and her king
<04428>

as thou didst
<06213> (8804)

unto Jericho
<03405>

and her king
<04428>_:

only the spoil
<07998>

thereof, and the cattle
<0929>

thereof, shall ye take for a prey
<0962> (8799)

unto yourselves: lay
<07760> (8798)

thee an ambush
<0693> (8802)

for the city
<05892>

behind
<0310>

it.

So Joshua
<03091>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and all the people
<05971>

of war
<04421>_,

to go up
<05927> (8800)

against Ai
<05857>_:

and Joshua
<03091>

chose out
<0977> (8799)

thirty
<07970>

thousand
<0505>

mighty
<01368>

men
<0376>

of valour
<02428>_,

and sent them away
<07971> (8799)

by night
<03915>_.

And he commanded
<06680> (8762)

them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Behold
<07200> (8798)_,

ye shall lie in wait
<0693> (8802)

against the city
<05892>_,

[even] behind
<0310>

the city
<05892>_:

go
<07368> (0)

not very
<03966>

far
<07368> (8686)

from the city
<05892>_,

but be ye all ready
<03559> (8737)_:

And I, and all the people
<05971>

that [are] with me, will approach
<07126> (8799)

unto the city
<05892>_:

and it shall come to pass, when they come out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

us, as at the first
<07223>_,

that we will flee
<05127> (8804)

before
<06440>

them,

(For they will come out
<03318> (8804)

after
<0310>

us) till we have drawn
<05423> (8687)

them from the city
<05892>_;

for they will say
<0559> (8799)_,

They flee
<05127> (8801)

before
<06440>

us, as at the first
<07223>_:

therefore we will flee
<05127> (8804)

before
<06440>

them. {drawn: Heb. pulled}

Then ye shall rise up
<06965> (8799)

from the ambush
<0693> (8802)_,

and seize
<03423> (8689)

upon the city
<05892>_:

for the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>

will deliver
<05414> (8804)

it into your hand
<03027>_.

And it shall be, when ye have taken
<08610> (8800)

the city
<05892>_,

[that] ye shall set
<03341> (8686)

the city
<05892>

on fire
<0784>_:

according to the commandment
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

shall ye do
<06213> (8799)_.

See
<07200> (8798)_,

I have commanded
<06680> (8765)

you.

Joshua
<03091>

therefore sent them forth
<07971> (8799)_:

and they went
<03212> (8799)

to lie in ambush
<03993>_,

and abode
<03427> (8799)

between Bethel
<01008>

and Ai
<05857>_,

on the west side
<03220>

of Ai
<05857>_:

but Joshua
<03091>

lodged
<03885> (8799)

that night
<03915>

among
<08432>

the people
<05971>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

rose up early
<07925> (8686)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and numbered
<06485> (8799)

the people
<05971>_,

and went up
<05927> (8799)_,

he and the elders
<02205>

of Israel
<03478>_,

before
<06440>

the people
<05971>

to Ai
<05857>_.

And all the people
<05971>_,

[even the people] of war
<04421>

that [were] with him, went up
<05927> (8804)_,

and drew nigh
<05066> (8799)_,

and came
<0935> (8799)

before the city
<05892>_,

and pitched
<02583> (8799)

on the north side
<06828>

of Ai
<05857>_:

now [there was] a valley
<01516>

between them and Ai
<05857>_.

And he took
<03947> (8799)

about five
<02568>

thousand
<0505>

men
<0376>_,

and set
<07760> (8799)

them to lie in ambush
<0693> (8802)

between Bethel
<01008>

and Ai
<05857>_,

on the west side
<03220>

of the city
<05857> (8675) <05892>_.

{of...: or, of Ai}

And when they had set
<07760> (8799)

the people
<05971>_,

[even] all the host
<04264>

that [was] on the north
<06828>

of the city
<05892>_,

and their liers in wait
<06119>

on the west
<03220>

of the city
<05892>_,

Joshua
<03091>

went
<03212> (8799)

that night
<03915>

into the midst
<08432>

of the valley
<06010>_.

{liers...: Heb. lying in wait}

And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>

of Ai
<05857>

saw
<07200> (8800)

[it], that they hasted
<04116> (8762)

and rose up early
<07925> (8686)_,

and the men
<0582>

of the city
<05892>

went out
<03318> (8799)

against
<07125> (8800)

Israel
<03478>

to battle
<04421>_,

he and all his people
<05971>_,

at a time appointed
<04150>_,

before
<06440>

the plain
<06160>_;

but he wist
<03045> (8804)

not that [there were] liers in ambush
<0693> (8802)

against him behind
<0310>

the city
<05892>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

and all Israel
<03478>

made as if they were beaten
<05060> (8735)

before
<06440>

them, and fled
<05127> (8799)

by the way
<01870>

of the wilderness
<04057>_.

And all the people
<05971>

that [were] in Ai
<05857> (8675) <05892>

were called
<02199> (8735)

together to pursue
<07291> (8800)

after
<0310>

them: and they pursued
<07291> (8799)

after
<0310>

Joshua
<03091>_,

and were drawn away
<05423> (8735)

from the city
<05892>_.

And there was not a man
<0376>

left
<07604> (8738)

in Ai
<05857>

or Bethel
<01008>_,

that went not out
<03318> (8804)

after
<0310>

Israel
<03478>_:

and they left
<05800> (8799)

the city
<05892>

open
<06605> (8803)_,

and pursued
<07291> (8799)

after Israel
<03478>_.

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Joshua
<03091>_,

Stretch out
<05186> (8798)

the spear
<03591>

that [is] in thy hand
<03027>

toward Ai
<05857>_;

for I will give
<05414> (8799)

it into thine hand
<03027>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

stretched out
<05186> (8799)

the spear
<03591>

that [he had] in his hand
<03027>

toward the city
<05892>_.

And the ambush
<0693> (8802)

arose
<06965> (8804)

quickly
<04120>

out of their place
<04725>_,

and they ran
<07323> (8799)

as soon as he had stretched out
<05186> (8800)

his hand
<03027>_:

and they entered
<0935> (8799)

into the city
<05892>_,

and took
<03920> (8799)

it, and hasted
<04116> (8762)

and set
<03341> (8686)

the city
<05892>

on fire
<0784>_.

And when the men
<0582>

of Ai
<05857>

looked
<06437> (8799)

behind
<0310>

them, they saw
<07200> (8799)_,

and, behold, the smoke
<06227>

of the city
<05892>

ascended up
<05927> (8804)

to heaven
<08064>_,

and they had no power
<03027>

to flee
<05127> (8800)

this way or that way
<02008>_:

and the people
<05971>

that fled
<05127> (8801)

to the wilderness
<04057>

turned back
<02015> (8738)

upon the pursuers
<07291> (8802)_.

{power: Heb. hand}

And when Joshua
<03091>

and all Israel
<03478>

saw
<07200> (8804)

that the ambush
<0693> (8802)

had taken
<03920> (8804)

the city
<05892>_,

and that the smoke
<06227>

of the city
<05892>

ascended
<05927> (8804)_,

then they turned again
<07725> (8799)_,

and slew
<05221> (8686)

the men
<0582>

of Ai
<05857>_.

And the other
<0428>

issued out
<03318> (8804)

of the city
<05892>

against
<07125> (8800)

them; so they were in the midst
<08432>

of Israel
<03478>_,

some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote
<05221> (8686)

them, so that
<05704>

they let
<07604> (8689)

none of them remain
<08300>

or escape
<06412>_.

And the king
<04428>

of Ai
<05857>

they took
<08610> (8804)

alive
<02416>_,

and brought
<07126> (8686)

him to Joshua
<03091>_.

And it came to pass, when Israel
<03478>

had made an end
<03615> (8763)

of slaying
<02026> (8800)

all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Ai
<05857>

in the field
<07704>_,

in the wilderness
<04057>

wherein they chased
<07291> (8804)

them, and when they were all fallen
<05307> (8799)

on the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_,

until they were consumed
<08552> (8800)_,

that all the Israelites
<03478>

returned
<07725> (8799)

unto Ai
<05857>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

it with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_.

And [so] it was, [that] all that fell
<05307> (8802)

that day
<03117>_,

both of men
<0376>

and women
<0802>_,

[were] twelve
<08147> <06240>

thousand
<0505>_,

[even] all the men
<0582>

of Ai
<05857>_.

For Joshua
<03091>

drew
<07725> (0)

not his hand
<03027>

back
<07725> (8689)_,

wherewith he stretched out
<05186> (8804)

the spear
<03591>_,

until he had utterly destroyed
<02763> (8689)

all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of Ai
<05857>_.

Only the cattle
<0929>

and the spoil
<07998>

of that city
<05892>

Israel
<03478>

took for a prey
<0962> (8804)

unto themselves, according unto the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>

which he commanded
<06680> (8765)

Joshua
<03091>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

burnt
<08313> (8799)

Ai
<05857>_,

and made
<07760> (8799)

it an heap
<08510>

for ever
<05769>_,

[even] a desolation
<08077>

unto this day
<03117>_.

And the king
<04428>

of Ai
<05857>

he hanged
<08518> (8804)

on a tree
<06086>

until eventide
<06256> <06153>_:

and as soon as the sun
<08121>

was down
<0935> (8800)_,

Joshua
<03091>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

that they should take
<03381> (0)

his carcase
<05038>

down
<03381> (8686)

from the tree
<06086>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

it at the entering
<06607>

of the gate
<08179>

of the city
<05892>_,

and raise
<06965> (8686)

thereon a great
<01419>

heap
<01530>

of stones
<068>_,

[that remaineth] unto this day
<03117>_.

Then Joshua
<03091>

built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

in mount
<02022>

Ebal
<05858>_,

As Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

commanded
<06680> (8765)

the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

as it is written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>

of Moses
<04872>_,

an altar
<04196>

of whole
<08003>

stones
<068>_,

over which no man hath lift up
<05130> (8689)

[any] iron
<01270>_:

and they offered
<05927> (8686)

thereon burnt offerings
<05930>

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

and sacrificed
<02076> (8799)

peace offerings
<08002>_.

And he wrote
<03789> (8799)

there upon the stones
<068>

a copy
<04932>

of the law
<08451>

of Moses
<04872>_,

which he wrote
<03789> (8804)

in the presence
<06440>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_.

And all Israel
<03478>_,

and their elders
<02205>_,

and officers
<07860> (8802)_,

and their judges
<08199> (8802)_,

stood
<05975> (8802)

on this side the ark
<0727>

and on that side before the priests
<03548>

the Levites
<03881>_,

which bare
<05375> (8802)

the ark
<0727>

of the covenant
<01285>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

as well the stranger
<01616>_,

as he that was born
<0249>

among them; half
<02677>

of them over
<0413>

against
<04136>

mount
<02022>

Gerizim
<01630>_,

and half
<02677>

of them over against
<04136>

mount
<02022>

Ebal
<05858>_;

as Moses
<04872>

the servant
<05650>

of the LORD
<03068>

had commanded
<06680> (8765)

before
<07223>_,

that they should bless
<01288> (8763)

the people
<05971>

of Israel
<03478>_.

And afterward
<0310>

he read
<07121> (8804)

all the words
<01697>

of the law
<08451>_,

the blessings
<01293>

and cursings
<07045>_,

according to all that is written
<03789> (8803)

in the book
<05612>

of the law
<08451>_.

There was not a word
<01697>

of all that Moses
<04872>

commanded
<06680> (8765)_,

which Joshua
<03091>

read
<07121> (8804)

not before all the congregation
<06951>

of Israel
<03478>_,

with the women
<0802>_,

and the little ones
<02945>_,

and the strangers
<01616>

that were conversant
<01980> (8802)

among
<07130>

them. {were...: Heb. walked}
