Joshua 8:2-4

Expanded Bible

² You will do to Ai and its king what you did to Jericho and its king. Only this time you may ·take all the wealth [^Lplunder its goods and livestock] and keep it for yourselves. Now ·tell some of your soldiers to set up [^Lset] an ambush behind the city.”

³ So Joshua ·led his whole army toward [^Land all the people rose to go up against] Ai. Then he chose thirty thousand ·of his best fighting men [brave warriors] and sent them out at night. ⁴ Joshua gave them these orders: “·Listen carefully [Look; ^TBehold]. You must set up an ambush behind the city. Don’t go far from it, but continue to watch and be ready.
