And Joshua chose thirty thousand men, mighty warriors and sent them away by night. 4 And he commanded them, saying, See, you will be an ambush against the city, behind the city. You shall not go very far off from the city, and all of you shall be ready. 5 And I and all the people with me shall draw near to the city. And it shall be, when they come out to meet us as at the first, and we have fled before them, 6 and they will come out after us until we have drawn them out of the city. For they will say, They are fleeing before us, as at the first. And we will flee from them; 7 then you shall rise from the ambush and shall possess the city. And Jehovah your God shall give it into your hand. 8 And it shall be when you capture the city, you shall burn the city with fire. You shall do according to the Word of Jehovah. See, I have commanded you. 9 And Joshua sent them away, and they went to the ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai. And Joshua remained that night in the midst of the people.
