H3068
Yahweh
H559
said
H3091
to Joshua,
H3372
"Don't be afraid,
H2865
neither be dismayed.
H3947
Take
H5971
all the people
H4421
of war
H6965
with you, and arise,
H5927
go up
H5857
to Ai.
H7200
Behold,
H5414
I have given
H3027
into your hand
H4428
the king
H5857
of Ai,
H5971
with his people,
H5892
his city,
H776
and his land.
2
H6213
You shall do
H5857
to Ai
H4428
and her king
H6213
as you did
H3405
to Jericho
H4428
and her king,
H7998
except its spoil
H929
and its livestock,
H962
you shall take for a plunder
H7760
for yourselves. Set
H693
an ambush
H5892
for the city
H310
behind it."
3
H3091
So Joshua
H6965
arose,
H5971
and all the people
H4421
of war,
H5927
to go up
H5857
to Ai.
H3091
Joshua
H977
chose
H7970
thirty
H505
thousand
H1368
men, the mighty
H376
men
H2428
of valor,
H7971
and sent them out
H3915
by night.
4
H6680
He commanded
H559
them, saying,
H7200
"Behold,
H693
you shall lie in ambush
H5892
against the city,
H310
behind
H5892
the city.
H7368
Don't go
H3966
very
H7368
far
H5892
from the city,
H3559
but all of you be ready.
5
H5971
I, and all the people
H7126
who are with me, will approach
H5892
to the city.
H3318
It shall happen, when they come out
H7125
against
H7223
us, as at the first,
H5127
that we will flee
H6440
before them.
6
H3318
They will come out
H310
after
H5423
us, until we have drawn
H5892
them away from the city;
H559
for they will say,
H5127
‘They flee
H6440
before
H7223
us, like the first
H5127
time.' So we will flee
H6440
before them,
7
H6965
and you shall rise up
H693
from the ambush,
H3423
and take possession
H5892
of the city;
H3068
for Yahweh
H430
your God
H5414
will deliver
H3027
it into your hand.
8
H8610
It shall be, when you have seized
H5892
on the city,
H3341
that you shall set
H5892
the city
H784
on fire.
H6213
You shall do
H1697
this according to the word
H3068
of Yahweh.
H7200
Behold,
H6680
I have commanded you."
9
H3091
Joshua
H7971
sent them out;
H3212
and they went
H3993
to set up the ambush,
H3427
and stayed
H1008
between Bethel
H5857
and Ai,
H3220
on the west side
H5857
of Ai;
H3091
but Joshua
H3885
stayed
H8432
among
H5971
the people
H3915
that night.
10
H3091
Joshua
H7925
rose up early
H1242
in the morning,
H6485
mustered
H5971
the people,
H5927
and went up,
H2205
he and the elders
H3478
of Israel,
H6440
before
H5971
the people
H5857
to Ai.
11
H5971
All the people,
H4421
even the men of war
H5927
who were with him, went up,
H5066
and drew near,
H935
and came
H5892
before the city,
H2583
and encamped
H6828
on the north side
H5857
of Ai.
H1516
Now there was a valley
H5857
between him and Ai.
12
H3947
He took
H2568
about five
H505
thousand
H376
men,
H7760
and set
H693
them in ambush
H1008
between Bethel
H5857
and Ai,
H3220
on the west side
H5857
of the city.
13
H7760
So they set
H5971
the people,
H4264
even all the army
H6828
who was on the north
H5892
of the city,
H6119
and their ambush
H3220
on the west
H5892
of the city;
H3091
and Joshua
H3212
went
H3915
that night
H8432
into the midst
H6010
of the valley.
14
H4428
It happened, when the king
H5857
of Ai
H7200
saw
H4116
it, that they hurried
H7925
and rose up early,
H582
and the men
H5892
of the city
H3318
went out
H7125
against
H3478
Israel
H4421
to battle,
H5971
he and all his people,
H4150
at the time appointed,
H6440
before
H6160
the Arabah;
H3045
but he didn't know
H693
that there was an ambush
H310
against him behind
H5892
the city.
15
H3091
Joshua
H3478
and all Israel
H5060
made as if they were beaten
H6440
before
H5127
them, and fled
H1870
by the way
H4057
of the wilderness.
16
H5971
All the people
H5857
who were in the city
H2199
were called
H7291
together to pursue
H310
after
H310
them. They
H7291
pursued
H3091
Joshua,
H5423
and were drawn away
H5892
from the city.
17
H376
There was not a man
H7604
left
H5857
in Ai
H1008
or Beth El
H3318
who didn't go out
H310
after
H3478
Israel.
H5800
They left
H5892
the city
H6605
open,
H7291
and pursued
H3478
Israel.
18
H3068
Yahweh
H559
said
H3091
to Joshua,
H5186
"Stretch out
H3591
the javelin
H3027
that is in your hand
H5857
toward Ai,
H5414
for I will give
H3027
it into your hand."
H3091
Joshua
H5186
stretched out
H3591
the javelin
H3027
that was in his hand
H5892
toward the city.
19
H693
The ambush
H6965
arose
H4120
quickly
H4725
out of their place,
H7323
and they ran
H5186
as soon as he had stretched out
H3027
his hand,
H935
and entered
H5892
into the city,
H3920
and took
H4116
it. They hurried
H3341
and set
H5892
the city
H784
on fire.
20
H582
When the men
H5857
of Ai
H6437
looked
H310
behind
H6437
them, they saw,
H6227
and behold, the smoke
H5892
of the city
H5927
ascended up
H8064
to heaven,
H3027
and they had no power
H5127
to flee
H2008
this way or that way.
H5971
The people
H5127
who fled
H4057
to the wilderness
H2015
turned back
H7291
on the pursuers.
21
H3091
When Joshua
H3478
and all Israel
H7200
saw
H693
that the ambush
H3920
had taken
H5892
the city,
H6227
and that the smoke
H5892
of the city
H5927
ascended,
H7725
then they turned again,
H5221
and killed
H582
the men
H5857
of Ai.
22
H428
The others
H3318
came out
H5892
of the city
H7125
against
H8432
them, so they were in the midst
H3478
of Israel,
H5221
some on this side, and some on that side. They struck
H5704
them, so that
H7604
they let
H8300
none of them remain
H6412
or escape.
23
H8610
They captured
H4428
the king
H5857
of Ai
H2416
alive,
H7126
and brought
H3091
him to Joshua.
24
H3478
It happened, when Israel
H3615
had made an end
H2026
of killing
H3427
all the inhabitants
H5857
of Ai
H7704
in the field,
H4057
in the wilderness
H7291
in which they pursued
H5307
them, and they had all fallen
H6310
by the edge
H2719
of the sword,
H8552
until they were consumed,
H3478
that all Israel
H7725
returned
H5857
to Ai,
H5221
and struck
H6310
it with the edge
H2719
of the sword.
25
H5307
All that fell
H3117
that day,
H376
both of men
H802
and women,
H8147
were twelve
H505
thousand,
H376
even all the men
H5857
of Ai.
26
H3091
For Joshua
H7725
didn't draw
H7725
back
H3027
his hand,
H5186
with which he stretched out
H3591
the javelin,
H2763
until he had utterly destroyed
H3427
all the inhabitants
H5857
of Ai.
27
H929
Only the livestock
H7998
and the spoil
H5892
of that city
H3478
Israel
H962
took for prey
H1697
to themselves, according to the word
H3068
of Yahweh
H6680
which he commanded
H3091
Joshua.
28
H3091
So Joshua
H8313
burnt
H5857
Ai,
H7760
and made
H8510
it a heap
H5769
forever,
H8077
even a desolation,
H3117
to this day.
29
H8518
He hanged
H4428
the king
H5857
of Ai
H6086
on a tree
H6256
until the evening,
H8121
and at the
H935
sundown
H3091
Joshua
H6680
commanded,
H3381
and they took
H5038
his body
H935
down
H6086
from the tree,
H7993
and threw
H6607
it at the entrance
H8179
of the gate
H5892
of the city,
H6965
and raised
H1419
a great
H1530
heap
H68
of stones
H3117
on it that remains to this day.
30
H3091
Then Joshua
H1129
built
H4196
an altar
H3068
to Yahweh,
H430
the God
H3478
of Israel,
H2022
in Mount
H5858
Ebal,
31
H4872
as Moses
H5650
the servant
H3068
of Yahweh
H6680
commanded
H1121
the children
H3478
of Israel,
H3789
as it is written
H5612
in the book
H8451
of the law
H4872
of Moses,
H4196
an altar
H8003
of uncut
H68
stones,
H5130
on which no man had lifted up
H1270
any iron.
H5927
They offered
H5930
burnt offerings
H3068
on it to Yahweh,
H2076
and sacrificed
H5930
peace offerings.
32
H3789
He wrote
H68
there on the stones
H4932
a copy
H8451
of the law
H4872
of Moses,
H3789
which he wrote
H6440
in the presence
H1121
of the children
H3478
of Israel.
33
H3478
All Israel,
H2205
and their elders
H7860
and officers,
H8199
and their judges,
H5975
stood
H727
on this side of the ark
H3548
and on that side before the priests
H3881
the Levites,
H5375
who carried
H727
the ark
H3068
of Yahweh's
H1285
covenant,
H1616
the foreigner
H249
as well as the native;
H2677
half
H413
of them in
H4136
front
H2022
of Mount
H1630
Gerizim,
H2677
and half
H4136
of them in front
H2022
of Mount
H5858
Ebal,
H4872
as Moses
H5650
the servant
H3068
of Yahweh
H6680
had commanded
H7223
at the first,
H1288
that they should bless
H5971
the people
H3478
of Israel.
