Joshua 8:9 BBE

⁷  Then you will get up from your secret position and take the town, for the Lord your God will give it up into your hands.

⁸  And when you have taken the town, put fire to it, as the Lord has said: see, I have given you your orders.

⁹  So Joshua sent them out: and they took up a secret position between Beth-el and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua kept with the people that night.

¹⁰  And early in the morning Joshua got up, and put the people in order, and he and the chiefs of Israel went up before the people to Ai.

¹¹  And all the fighting-men who were with him went up and came near the town, and took up a position on the north side of Ai facing the town, with a valley between him and the town.
