H3068
And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H3091
to Joshua
H3372 [H8799]
, Fear
H2865 [H8735]
not, neither be thou dismayed
H3947 [H8798]
: take
H5971
all the people
H4421
of war
H6965 [H8798]
with thee, and arise
H5927 [H8798]
, go up
H5857
to Ai
H7200 [H8798]
: see
H5414 [H8804]
, I have given
H3027
into thy hand
H4428
the king
H5857
of Ai
H5971
, and his people
H5892
, and his city
H776
, and his land:
2
H6213 [H8804]
And thou shalt do
H5857
to Ai
H4428
and its king
H6213 [H8804]
as thou didst
H3405
to Jericho
H4428
and its king
H7998
: only its spoil
H929
, and its cattle
H962 [H8799]
, shall ye take for a prey
H7760 [H8798]
to yourselves: lay
H693 [H8802]
thee an ambush
H5892
for the city
H310
behind it.
3
H3091
So Joshua
H6965 [H8799]
arose
H5971
, and all the people
H4421
of war
H5927 [H8800]
, to go up
H5857
against Ai
H3091
: and Joshua
H977 [H8799]
chose out
H7970
thirty
H505
thousand
H1368
mighty
H376
men
H2428
of valour
H7971 [H8799]
, and sent them away
H3915
by night.
4
H6680 [H8762]
And he commanded
H559 [H8800]
them, saying
H7200 [H8798]
, Behold
H693 [H8802]
, ye shall lie in wait
H5892
against the city
H310
, even behind
H5892
the city
H7368 0
: go
H3966
not very
H7368 [H8686]
far
H5892
from the city
H3559 [H8737]
, but be ye all ready:
5
H5971
And I, and all the people
H7126 [H8799]
that are with me, will approach
H5892
to the city
H3318 [H8799]
: and it shall come to pass, when they come out
H7125 [H8800]
against
H7223
us, as at the first
H5127 [H8804]
, that we will flee
H6440
before them,
6
H3318 [H8804]
(For they will come out
H310
after
H5423 [H8687]
us) till we have drawn
H5892
them from the city
H559 [H8799]
; for they will say
H5127 [H8801]
, They flee
H6440
before
H7223
us, as at the first
H5127 [H8804]
: therefore we will flee
H6440
before them.
7
H6965 [H8799]
Then ye shall rise
H693 [H8802]
from the ambush
H3423 [H8689]
, and seize
H5892
upon the city
H3068
: for the LORD
H430
your God
H5414 [H8804]
will deliver
H3027
it into your hand.
8
H8610 [H8800]
And it shall be, when ye have taken
H5892
the city
H3341 [H8686]
, that ye shall set
H5892
the city
H784
on fire
H1697
: according to the commandment
H3068
of the LORD
H6213 [H8799]
shall ye do
H7200 [H8798]
. See
H6680 [H8765]
, I have commanded you.
9
H3091
Joshua
H7971 [H8799]
therefore sent them forth
H3212 [H8799]
: and they went
H3993
to lie in ambush
H3427 [H8799]
, and abode
H1008
between Bethel
H5857
and Ai
H3220
, on the west side
H5857
of Ai
H3091
: but Joshua
H3885 [H8799]
lodged
H3915
that night
H8432
among
H5971
the people.
10
H3091
And Joshua
H7925 [H8686]
rose early
H1242
in the morning
H6485 [H8799]
, and numbered
H5971
the people
H5927 [H8799]
, and went up
H2205
, he and the elders
H3478
of Israel
H6440
, before
H5971
the people
H5857
to Ai.
11
H5971
And all the people
H4421
, even the people of war
H5927 [H8804]
that were with him, went up
H5066 [H8799]
, and drew near
H935 [H8799]
, and came
H5892
before the city
H2583 [H8799]
, and encamped
H6828
on the north side
H5857
of Ai
H1516
: now there was a valley
H5857
between them and Ai.
12
H3947 [H8799]
And he took
H2568
about five
H505
thousand
H376
men
H7760 [H8799]
, and set
H693 [H8802]
them to lie in ambush
H1008
between Bethel
H5857
and Ai
H3220
, on the west side
H5857 H5892 [H8675]
of the city.
13
H7760 [H8799]
And when they had set
H5971
the people
H4264
, even all the host
H6828
that was on the north
H5892
of the city
H6119
, and their ones lying in ambush
H3220
on the west
H5892
of the city
H3091
, Joshua
H3212 [H8799]
went
H3915
that night
H8432
into the midst
H6010
of the valley.
14
H4428
And it came to pass, when the king
H5857
of Ai
H7200 [H8800]
saw
H4116 [H8762]
it, that they hasted
H7925 [H8686]
and rose early
H582
, and the men
H5892
of the city
H3318 [H8799]
went out
H7125 [H8800]
against
H3478
Israel
H4421
to battle
H5971
, he and all his people
H4150
, at a time appointed
H6440
, before
H6160
the plain
H3045 [H8804]
; but he knew
H693 [H8802]
not that there were liers in ambush
H310
against him behind
H5892
the city.
15
H3091
And Joshua
H3478
and all Israel
H5060 [H8735]
made as if they were beaten
H6440
before
H5127 [H8799]
them, and fled
H1870
by the way
H4057
of the wilderness.
16
H5971
And all the people
H5857 H5892 [H8675]
that were in Ai
H2199 [H8735]
were called
H7291 H310 [H8800]
together to pursue
H7291 H310 [H8799]
them: and they pursued
H3091
Joshua
H5423 [H8735]
, and were drawn away
H5892
from the city.
17
H376
And there was not a man
H7604 [H8738]
left
H5857
in Ai
H1008
or Bethel
H3318 [H8804]
, that went not out
H310
after
H3478
Israel
H5800 [H8799]
: and they left
H5892
the city
H6605 [H8803]
open
H7291 [H8799]
, and pursued
H3478
Israel.
18
H3068
And the LORD
H559 [H8799]
said
H3091
to Joshua
H5186 [H8798]
, Stretch out
H3591
the spear
H3027
that is in thy hand
H5857
toward Ai
H5414 [H8799]
; for I will give
H3027
it into thy hand
H3091
. And Joshua
H5186 [H8799]
stretched out
H3591
the spear
H3027
that he had in his hand
H5892
toward the city.
19
H693 [H8802]
And the ambush
H6965 [H8804]
arose
H4120
quickly
H4725
out of their place
H7323 [H8799]
, and they ran
H5186 [H8800]
as soon as he had stretched out
H3027
his hand
H935 [H8799]
: and they entered
H5892
into the city
H3920 [H8799]
, and took
H4116 [H8762]
it, and hasted
H3341 [H8686]
and set
H5892
the city
H784
on fire.
20
H582
And when the men
H5857
of Ai
H6437 [H8799]
looked
H310
behind
H7200 [H8799]
them, they saw
H6227
, and, behold, the smoke
H5892
of the city
H5927 [H8804]
ascended
H8064
to heaven
H3027
, and they had no power
H5127 [H8800]
to flee
H2008
this way or that way
H5971
: and the people
H5127 [H8801]
that fled
H4057
to the wilderness
H2015 [H8738]
turned back
H7291 [H8802]
upon the pursuers.
21
H3091
And when Joshua
H3478
and all Israel
H7200 [H8804]
saw
H693 [H8802]
that the ambush
H3920 [H8804]
had taken
H5892
the city
H6227
, and that the smoke
H5892
of the city
H5927 [H8804]
ascended
H7725 [H8799]
, then they turned again
H5221 [H8686]
, and slew
H582
the men
H5857
of Ai.
22
H428
And the other
H3318 [H8804]
issued out
H5892
of the city
H7125 [H8800]
against
H8432
them; so they were in the midst
H3478
of Israel
H5221 [H8686]
, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote
H5704
them, so that
H7604 [H8689]
they let
H8300
none of them remain
H6412
or escape.
23
H4428
And the king
H5857
of Ai
H8610 [H8804]
they took
H2416
alive
H7126 [H8686]
, and brought
H3091
him to Joshua.
24
H3478
And it came to pass, when Israel
H3615 [H8763]
had finished
H2026 [H8800]
slaying
H3427 [H8802]
all the inhabitants
H5857
of Ai
H7704
in the field
H4057
, in the wilderness
H7291 [H8804]
in which they chased
H5307 [H8799]
them, and when they had all fallen
H6310
on the edge
H2719
of the sword
H8552 [H8800]
, until they were consumed
H3478
, that all the Israelites
H7725 [H8799]
returned
H5857
to Ai
H5221 [H8686]
, and smote
H6310
it with the edge
H2719
of the sword.
25
H5307 [H8802]
And so it was, that all that fell
H3117
that day
H376
, both of men
H802
and women
H8147 H6240
, were twelve
H505
thousand
H582
, even all the men
H5857
of Ai.
26
H3091
For Joshua
H7725 0
drew
H3027
not his hand
H7725 [H8689]
back
H5186 [H8804]
, with which he stretched out
H3591
the spear
H2763 [H8689]
, until he had utterly destroyed
H3427 [H8802]
all the inhabitants
H5857
of Ai.
27
H929
Only the cattle
H7998
and the spoil
H5892
of that city
H3478
Israel
H962 [H8804]
took for a prey
H1697
to themselves, according to the word
H3068
of the LORD
H6680 [H8765]
which he commanded
H3091
Joshua.
28
H3091
And Joshua
H8313 [H8799]
burnt
H5857
Ai
H7760 [H8799]
, and made
H8510
it an heap
H5769
for ever
H8077
, even a desolation
H3117
to this day.
29
H4428
And the king
H5857
of Ai
H8518 [H8804]
he hanged
H6086
on a tree
H6256 H6153
until evening
H8121
: and as soon as the sun
H935 [H8800]
was down
H3091
, Joshua
H6680 [H8765]
commanded
H3381 0
that they should take
H5038
his body
H3381 [H8686]
down
H6086
from the tree
H7993 [H8686]
, and cast
H6607
it at the entrance
H8179
of the gate
H5892
of the city
H6965 [H8686]
, and raise
H1419
over it a great
H1530
heap
H68
of stones
H3117
, that remaineth to this day.
30
H3091
Then Joshua
H1129 [H8799]
built
H4196
an altar
H3068
to the LORD
H430
God
H3478
of Israel
H2022
in mount
H5858
Ebal,
31
H4872
As Moses
H5650
the servant
H3068
of the LORD
H6680 [H8765]
commanded
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel
H3789 [H8803]
, as it is written
H5612
in the book
H8451
of the law
H4872
of Moses
H4196
, an altar
H8003
of whole
H68
stones
H5130 [H8689]
, over which no man hath lifted up
H1270
any iron
H5927 [H8686]
: and they offered
H5930
on it burnt offerings
H3068
to the LORD
H2076 [H8799]
, and sacrificed
H8002
peace offerings.
32
H3789 [H8799]
And he wrote
H68
there upon the stones
H4932
a copy
H8451
of the law
H4872
of Moses
H3789 [H8804]
, which he wrote
H6440
in the presence
H1121
of the children
H3478
of Israel.
33
H3478
And all Israel
H2205
, and their elders
H7860 [H8802]
, and officers
H8199 [H8802]
, and their judges
H5975 [H8802]
, stood
H727
on this side of the ark
H3548
and on that side before the priests
H3881
the Levites
H5375 [H8802]
, who bore
H727
the ark
H1285
of the covenant
H3068
of the LORD
H1616
, as well the stranger
H249
, as he that was born
H2677
among them; half
H413 H4136
of them opposite
H2022
mount
H1630
Gerizim
H2677
, and half
H4136
of them opposite
H2022
mount
H5858
Ebal
H4872
; as Moses
H5650
the servant
H3068
of the LORD
H6680 [H8765]
had commanded
H7223
before
H1288 [H8763]
, that they should bless
H5971
the people
H3478
of Israel.
34
H310
And afterward
H7121 [H8804]
he read
H1697
all the words
H8451
of the law
H1293
, the blessings
H7045
and cursings
H3789 [H8803]
, according to all that is written
H5612
in the book
H8451
of the law.
35
H1697
There was not a word
H4872
of all that Moses
H6680 [H8765]
commanded
H3091
, which Joshua
H7121 [H8804]
read
H6951
not before all the congregation
H3478
of Israel
H802
, with the women
H2945
, and the little ones
H1616
, and the strangers
H1980 [H8802]
that were conversant
H7130
among them.
