MLV(i)
2 And you will do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king. Only the spoil of it and the cattle of it, you* will take for a prey to yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it.
3 So Joshua arose and all the people of war, to go up to Ai. And Joshua chose out thirty thousand men, the mighty men of valor and sent them forth by night. 4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, you* will lie in ambush against the city, behind the city. Do not go very far from the city, but be you* all ready, 5 and I and all the people that are with me, will approach to the city. And it will happen, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them. 6 And they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first. So we will flee before them.
7 And you* will rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city, for Jehovah your* God will deliver it into your* hand.
