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