2 And do to Ai and to her king as thou didst to Jericho and to her king: only its plunder and her cattle ye shall plunder to yourselves: set to thee an ambush to the city from behind it. 3 And Joshua will rise, and all the people of war, to go up to Ai: and Joshua will choose thirty thousand men mighty of strength, and he will send them by night. 4 And he will command them, saying. See, ye lie in wait against the city, behind the city: ye shall not be far off from the city greatly, and be ye all of you prepared: 5 And I and all the people that are with me will draw near to the city: and it was when they shall come forth to our meeting as at the first, and we fled before them. 6 And they will come out after us, and we drew them away from the city, for they will say, They flee before us as at the first: and we fled before their face. 7 And ye shall rise up from the ambush and seize the city: and Jehovah your God gave it into your hand.
