Joshua 8:8 WEB

⁶  and they will come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: so we will flee before them;

⁷  and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city: for Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand.

⁸  It shall be, when you have seized on the city, that you shall set the city on fire; according to the word of Yahweh shall you do: behold, I have commanded you.

⁹  Joshua sent them forth; and they went to set up the ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

¹⁰  Joshua arose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
