Joshua 8:5-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 8
5
Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out to meet us as
they did
the first
time,
we will flee before them.
6
They will come out after us until we have lured them away from the city, for they will say, ‘
They
are fleeing before us just as
they did
the first time.’ So we will flee before them.
7
Then you shall rise from
your
ambush and take possession of the city, for the
Lord
your God will hand it over to you.
8
Then it will be when you have seized the city, that you shall set the city on fire. You shall do
it
in accordance with the word of the
Lord
. See, I have commanded you.'
9
So Joshua sent them away, and they went to the
place of
ambush and remained between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua spent that night among the people.
10
Now Joshua got up early in the morning and mustered the people, and he went up with the elders of Israel before the people to Ai.
11
Then all the people of war who
were
with him went up and approached, and arrived in front of the city; and they camped on the north side of Ai. And
there was
a valley between him and Ai.
King James Version
Chapter 8
5
And I, and all the people that are with me, will approach unto the city: and it shall come to pass, when they come out against us, as at the first, that we will flee before them,
6
(For they will come out after us) till we have drawn them from the city; for they will say, They flee before us, as at the first: therefore we will flee before them.
7
Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city: for the
Lord
your God will deliver it into your hand.
8
And it shall be, when ye have taken the city, that ye shall set the city on fire: according to the commandment of the
Lord
shall ye do. See, I have commanded you.
9
Joshua therefore sent them forth: and they went to lie in ambush, and abode between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai: but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
10
And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
11
And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of Ai: now there was a valley between them and Ai.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 8
5
Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. When they come out against us as they did the first time, we will flee from them.
6
They will come after us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, ‘They are fleeing from us as before.’ While we are fleeing from them,
7
you are to come out of your ambush and seize the city. The
Lord
your God will hand it over to you.
8
After taking the city, set it on fire. Follow the
Lord
’s command—see that you do as I have ordered you."
9
So Joshua sent them out, and they went to the ambush site and waited between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai. But he spent that night with the troops.
10
Joshua started early the next morning and mobilized them. Then he and the elders of Israel led the troops up to Ai.
11
All those who were with him went up and approached the city, arriving opposite Ai, and camped to the north of it, with a valley between them and the city.
New Living Translation
Chapter 8
5
When our main army attacks, the men of Ai will come out to fight as they did before, and we will run away from them.
6
We will let them chase us until we have drawn them away from the town. For they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’ Then, while we are running from them,
7
you will jump up from your ambush and take possession of the town, for the
Lord
your God will give it to you.
8
Set the town on fire, as the
Lord
has commanded. You have your orders.'
9
So they left and went to the place of ambush between Bethel and the west side of Ai. But Joshua remained among the people in the camp that night.
10
Early the next morning Joshua roused his men and started toward Ai, accompanied by the elders of Israel.
11
All the fighting men who were with Joshua marched in front of the town and camped on the north side of Ai, with a valley between them and the town.
English Standard Version
Chapter 8
5
And I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out against us just as before, we shall flee before them.
6
And they will come out after us, until we have drawn them away from the city. For they will say, ‘They are fleeing from us, just as before.’ So we will flee before them.
7
Then you shall rise up from the ambush and seize the city, for the
Lord
your God will give it into your hand.
8
And as soon as you have taken the city, you shall set the city on fire. You shall do according to the word of the
Lord
. See, I have commanded you."
9
So Joshua sent them out. And they went to the place of ambush and lay between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai, but Joshua spent that night among the people.
10
Joshua arose early in the morning and mustered the people and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
11
And all the fighting men who were with him went up and drew near before the city and encamped on the north side of Ai, with a ravine between them and Ai.
New International Version
Chapter 8
5
I and all those with me will advance on the city, and when the men come out against us, as they did before, we will flee from them.
6
They will pursue us until we have lured them away from the city, for they will say, ‘They are running away from us as they did before.’ So when we flee from them,
7
you are to rise up from ambush and take the city. The
Lord
your God will give it into your hand.
8
When you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do what the
Lord
has commanded. See to it; you have my orders."
9
Then Joshua sent them off, and they went to the place of ambush and lay in wait between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai—but Joshua spent that night with the people.
10
Early the next morning Joshua mustered his army, and he and the leaders of Israel marched before them to Ai.
11
The entire force that was with him marched up and approached the city and arrived in front of it. They set up camp north of Ai, with the valley between them and the city.
New King James Version
Chapter 8
5
Then I and all the people who
are
with me will approach the city; and it will come about, when they come out against us as at the first, that we shall flee before them.
6
For they will come out after us till we have drawn them from the city, for they will say, ‘
They are
fleeing before us as at the first.’ Therefore we will flee before them.
7
Then you shall rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the
Lord
your God will deliver it into your hand.
8
And it will be, when you have taken the city,
that
you shall set the city on fire. According to the commandment of the
Lord
you shall do. See, I have commanded you.”
9
Joshua therefore sent them out; and they went to lie in ambush, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua lodged that night among the people.
10
Then Joshua rose up early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
11
And all the people of war who
were
with him went up and drew near; and they came before the city and camped on the north side of Ai. Now a valley
lay
between them and Ai.
