And the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto Joshua, [3091] Fear [3372] not, neither be thou dismayed: [2865] take [3947] all the people [5971] of war [4421] with thee, and arise, [6965] go up [5927] to Ai: [5857] see, [7200] I have given [5414] into thy hand [3027] the king [4428] of Ai, [5857] and his people, [5971] and his city, [5892] and his land: [0776]

2

And thou shalt do [6213] to Ai [5857] and her king [4428] as thou didst [6213] unto Jericho [3405] and her king: [4428] only the spoil [7998] thereof, and the cattle [0929] thereof, shall ye take for a prey [0962] unto yourselves: lay [7760] thee an ambush [0693] for the city [5892] behind [0310] it.

3

So Joshua [3091] arose, [6965] and all the people [5971] of war, [4421] to go up [5927] against Ai: [5857] and Joshua [3091] chose [0977] out thirty [7970] thousand [0505] mighty [1368] men [0376] of valour, [2428] and sent them away [7971] by night. [3915]

4

And he commanded [6680] them, saying, [0559] Behold, [7200] ye shall lie in wait [0693] against the city, [5892] [even] behind [0310] the city: [5892] go not very [3966] far [7368] from the city, [5892] but be ye all ready: [3559]

5

And I, and all the people [5971] that [are] with me, will approach [7126] unto the city: [5892] and it shall come to pass, when they come out [3318] against [7125] us, as at the first, [7223] that we will flee [5127] before [6440] them,

6

(For they will come out [3318] after [0310] us) till we have drawn [5423] them from the city; [5892] for they will say, [0559] They flee [5127] before [6440] us, as at the first: [7223] therefore we will flee [5127] before [6440] them.

7

Then ye shall rise up [6965] from the ambush, [0693] and seize [3423] upon the city: [5892] for the LORD [3068] your God [0430] will deliver [5414] it into your hand. [3027]

8

And it shall be, when ye have taken [8610] the city, [5892] [that] ye shall set [3341] the city [5892] on fire: [0784] according to the commandment [1697] of the LORD [3068] shall ye do. [6213] See, [7200] I have commanded [6680] you.

9

Joshua [3091] therefore sent them forth: [7971] and they went [3212] to lie in ambush, [3993] and abode [3427] between Bethel [1008] and Ai, [5857] on the west side [3220] of Ai: [5857] but Joshua [3091] lodged [3885] that night [3915] among [8432] the people. [5971]

10

And Joshua [3091] rose up early [7925] in the morning, [1242] and numbered [6485] the people, [5971] and went up, [5927] he and the elders [2205] of Israel, [3478] before [6440] the people [5971] to Ai. [5857]

11

And all the people, [5971] [even the people] of war [4421] that [were] with him, went up, [5927] and drew nigh, [5066] and came [0935] before the city, [5892] and pitched [2583] on the north [6828] side of Ai: [5857] now [there was] a valley [1516] between them and Ai. [5857]

12

And he took [3947] about five [2568] thousand [0505] men, [0376] and set [7760] them to lie in ambush [0693] between Bethel [1008] and Ai, [5857] on the west side [3220] of the city. [5857] [5892]

13

And when they had set [7760] the people, [5971] [even] all the host [4264] that [was] on the north [6828] of the city, [5892] and their liers in wait [6119] on the west [3220] of the city, [5892] Joshua [3091] went [3212] that night [3915] into the midst [8432] of the valley. [6010]

14

And it came to pass, when the king [4428] of Ai [5857] saw [7200] [it], that they hasted [4116] and rose up early, [7925] and the men [0582] of the city [5892] went out [3318] against [7125] Israel [3478] to battle, [4421] he and all his people, [5971] at a time appointed, [4150] before [6440] the plain; [6160] but he wist [3045] not that [there were] liers in ambush [0693] against him behind [0310] the city. [5892]

15

And Joshua [3091] and all Israel [3478] made as if they were beaten [5060] before [6440] them, and fled [5127] by the way [1870] of the wilderness. [4057]

16

And all the people [5971] that [were] in Ai [5857] [5892] were called [2199] together to pursue [7291] after [0310] them: and they pursued [7291] after [0310] Joshua, [3091] and were drawn away [5423] from the city. [5892]

17

And there was not a man [0376] left [7604] in Ai [5857] or Bethel, [1008] that went not out [3318] after [0310] Israel: [3478] and they left [5800] the city [5892] open, [6605] and pursued [7291] after [0310] Israel. [3478]

18

And the LORD [3068] said [0559] unto Joshua, [3091] Stretch out [5186] the spear [3591] that [is] in thy hand [3027] toward Ai; [5857] for I will give [5414] it into thine hand. [3027] And Joshua [3091] stretched out [5186] the spear [3591] that [he had] in his hand [3027] toward the city. [5892]

19

And the ambush [0693] arose [6965] quickly [4120] out of their place, [4725] and they ran [7323] as soon as he had stretched out [5186] his hand: [3027] and they entered [0935] into the city, [5892] and took [3920] it, and hasted [4116] and set [3341] the city [5892] on fire. [0784]

20

And when the men [0582] of Ai [5857] looked [6437] behind [0310] them, they saw, [7200] and, behold, the smoke [6227] of the city [5892] ascended up [5927] to heaven, [8064] and they had no power [3027] to flee [5127] this way [2008] or that way: [2008] and the people [5971] that fled [5127] to the wilderness [4057] turned back [2015] upon the pursuers. [7291]

21

And when Joshua [3091] and all Israel [3478] saw [7200] that the ambush [0693] had taken [3920] the city, [5892] and that the smoke [6227] of the city [5892] ascended, [5927] then they turned again, [7725] and slew [5221] the men [0582] of Ai. [5857]

22

And the other [0428] issued out [3318] of the city [5892] against [7125] them; so they were in the midst [8432] of Israel, [3478] some [0428] on this side, and some [0428] on that side: and they smote [5221] them, so that [5704] they let [7604] none of them remain [8300] or escape. [6412]

23

And the king [4428] of Ai [5857] they took [8610] alive, [2416] and brought [7126] him to Joshua. [3091]

24

And it came to pass, when Israel [3478] had made an end [3615] of slaying [2026] all the inhabitants [3427] of Ai [5857] in the field, [7704] in the wilderness [4057] wherein they chased [7291] them, and when they were all fallen [5307] on the edge [6310] of the sword, [2719] until they were consumed, [8552] that all the Israelites [3478] returned [7725] unto Ai, [5857] and smote [5221] it with the edge [6310] of the sword. [2719]

25

And [so] it was, [that] all that fell [5307] that day, [3117] both of men [0376] and women, [0802] [were] twelve [8147] [6240] thousand, [0505] [even] all the men [0582] of Ai. [5857]

26

For Joshua [3091] drew not his hand [3027] back, [7725] wherewith he stretched out [5186] the spear, [3591] until he had utterly destroyed [2763] all the inhabitants [3427] of Ai. [5857]

27

Only the cattle [0929] and the spoil [7998] of that city [5892] Israel [3478] took for a prey [0962] unto themselves, according unto the word [1697] of the LORD [3068] which he commanded [6680] Joshua. [3091]

28

And Joshua [3091] burnt [8313] Ai, [5857] and made [7760] it an heap [8510] for ever, [5769] [even] a desolation [8077] unto this day. [3117]

29

And the king [4428] of Ai [5857] he hanged [8518] on a tree [6086] until eventide: [6256] [6153] and as soon as the sun [8121] was down, [0935] Joshua [3091] commanded [6680] that they should take his carcase [5038] down [3381] from the tree, [6086] and cast [7993] it at the entering [6607] of the gate [8179] of the city, [5892] and raise [6965] thereon a great [1419] heap [1530] of stones, [0068] [that remaineth] unto this day. [3117]

30

Then Joshua [3091] built [1129] an altar [4196] unto the LORD [3068] God [0430] of Israel [3478] in mount [2022] Ebal, [5858]

31

As Moses [4872] the servant [5650] of the LORD [3068] commanded [6680] the children [1121] of Israel, [3478] as it is written [3789] in the book [5612] of the law [8451] of Moses, [4872] an altar [4196] of whole [8003] stones, [0068] over which no man hath lift up [5130] [any] iron: [1270] and they offered [5927] thereon burnt offerings [5930] unto the LORD, [3068] and sacrificed [2076] peace offerings. [8002]

32

And he wrote [3789] there upon the stones [0068] a copy [4932] of the law [8451] of Moses, [4872] which he wrote [3789] in the presence [6440] of the children [1121] of Israel. [3478]

33

And all Israel, [3478] and their elders, [2205] and officers, [7860] and their judges, [8199] stood [5975] on this side the ark [0727] and on that side before the priests [3548] the Levites, [3881] which bare [5375] the ark [0727] of the covenant [1285] of the LORD, [3068] as well the stranger, [1616] as he that was born among them; [0249] half [2677] of them over [0413] against [4136] mount [2022] Gerizim, [1630] and half [2677] of them over against [4136] mount [2022] Ebal; [5858] as Moses [4872] the servant [5650] of the LORD [3068] had commanded [6680] before, [7223] that they should bless [1288] the people [5971] of Israel. [3478]

34

And afterward [0310] he read [7121] all the words [1697] of the law, [8451] the blessings [1293] and cursings, [7045] according to all that is written [3789] in the book [5612] of the law. [8451]

35

There was not a word [1697] of all that Moses [4872] commanded, [6680] which Joshua [3091] read [7121] not before all the congregation [6951] of Israel, [3478] with the women, [0802] and the little ones, [2945] and the strangers [1616] that were conversant [1980] among [7130] them.
