Joshua 8:22-35

8:22

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>_.

8:23

And the king
<04428>

of Ai
<05857>

they took
<08610> (8804)

alive
<02416>_,

and brought
<07126> (8686)

him to Joshua
<03091>_.

8:24

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>_.

8:25

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>_.

8:26

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>_.

8:27

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>_.

8:28

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>_.

8:29

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>_.

8:30

Then Joshua
<03091>

built
<01129> (8799)

an altar
<04196>

unto the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>

in mount
<02022>

Ebal
<05858>_,

8:31

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>_.

8:32

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>_.

8:33

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>_.

8:34

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>_.

8:35

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}
