Joshua 8:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁵ And Joshua and all Israel made a pretence of being beaten before them, and fled in the direction of the wilderness. ¹⁶ So all the people who were in the city were called together to pursue them, and as they pursued Joshua they were drawn away from the city. ¹⁷ There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who did not go out after Israel; they left the city open, and pursued Israel.
