Joshua 8:1-12

8:1

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>_:

8:2

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.

8:3

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>_.

8:4

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)_:

8:5

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,

8:6

(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}

8:7

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>_.

8:8

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.

8:9

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>_.

8:10

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>_.

8:11

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>_.

8:12

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>_.
