Joshua 8:2-7 And you shall do to Ai as you did to Jericho and its king; and you shall take to yourself the spoil of its livestock; set now for yourself an ambush for the city behind.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And you shall do to Ai as you did to Jericho and its king; and you shall take to yourself the spoil of its livestock; set now for yourself an ambush for the city behind. ³ And Joshua and all the men of war rose to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose out thirty thousand mighty men, and he sent them away by night. ⁴ And he commanded them, saying, Go, and lie in ambush behind the city: do not go far from the city, and you shall all be ready. ⁵ Then I and all the people who are with me shall draw near to the city. And it shall come to pass when the inhabitants of Ai shall come forth to meet us as before, that we will flee from before them. ⁶ And when they shall come out after us, we will draw them away from the city; and they will say, These men flee from before us, just like before. ⁷ And you shall rise up out of the ambush, and go into the city.
