1 And YHWH said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed. Take with you all the people of war and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, and his people, and his city, and his land. 2 And you shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and to its king; only its spoil and its cattle you? shall take as plunder for yourselves. Set up to you an ambush for the city behind it.” 3 And Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai, and Joshua chose thirty thousand mighty men of valor, and sent them away by night. 4 And he commanded them, saying, “Behold, you? shall lie in ambush against the city, from behind the city. Do not go very far from the city, and all of you? be ready. 5 And I and all the people who are with me will approach unto the city. And it shall come to pass, when they come out against us as at the first, that we shall flee before their faces. Joshua 8:1-5, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
