Joshua 8:18-19

8:18 The Lord told Joshua, “Hold out toward Ai the curved sword in your hand, for I am handing the city ¹  over to you.” So Joshua held out toward Ai the curved sword in his hand. 8:19 When he held out his hand, the men waiting in ambush rose up quickly from their place and attacked. ²  They entered the city, captured it, and immediately set it on fire.

[8:18]  ¹ tn Heb “it”; the referent (the city of Ai) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:19]  ² tn Heb “and ran.”
