Joshua 8:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 And thou shalt do to Ai and to the king thereof, as thou didst unto (A)Jericho and to the king thereof: nevertheless the spoil thereof and (B)the cattle thereof shall ye take unto you for a prey: thou shalt lie in wait against the city on the [a]back side thereof.
3 ¶ Then Joshua arose, and all the men of war to go up against Ai: and Joshua chose out thirty thousand strong men, and valiant, and sent them away by night.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Behold, ye [b]shall lie in wait against the city on the back side of the city: go not very far from the city, but be ye all in a readiness.
