And the LORDh3068 saidh559h8799 unto Joshuah3091, Fearh3372h8799 not, neither be thou dismayedh2865h8735: takeh3947h8798 all the peopleh5971 of warh4421 with thee, and ariseh6965h8798, go uph5927h8798 to Aih5857: seeh7200h8798, I have givenh5414h8804 into thy handh3027 the kingh4428 of Aih5857, and his peopleh5971, and his cityh5892, and his landh776:

2

And thou shalt doh6213h8804 to Aih5857 and her kingh4428 as thou didsth6213h8804 unto Jerichoh3405 and her kingh4428: only the spoilh7998 thereof, and the cattleh929 thereof, shall ye take for a preyh962h8799 unto yourselves: layh7760h8798 thee an ambushh693h8802 for the cityh5892 behindh310 it.

3

So Joshuah3091 aroseh6965h8799, and all the peopleh5971 of warh4421, to go uph5927h8800 against Aih5857: and Joshuah3091 chose outh977h8799 thirtyh7970 thousandh505 mightyh1368 menh376 of valourh2428, and sent them awayh7971h8799 by nighth3915.

5

And I, and all the peopleh5971 that are with me, will approachh7126h8799 unto the cityh5892: and it shall come to pass, when they come outh3318h8799 againsth7125h8800 us, as at the firsth7223, that we will fleeh5127h8804 beforeh6440 them,

6

(For they will come outh3318h8804 afterh310 us) till we have drawnh5423h8687 them from the cityh5892; for they will sayh559h8799, They fleeh5127h8801 beforeh6440 us, as at the firsth7223: therefore we will fleeh5127h8804 beforeh6440 them. drawn: Heb. pulled

Then ye shall rise uph6965h8799 from the ambushh693h8802, and seizeh3423h8689 upon the cityh5892: for the LORDh3068 your Godh430 will deliverh5414h8804 it into your handh3027.

8

And it shall be, when ye have takenh8610h8800 the cityh5892, that ye shall seth3341h8686 the cityh5892 on fireh784: according to the commandmenth1697 of the LORDh3068 shall ye doh6213h8799. Seeh7200h8798, I have commandedh6680h8765 you.

Joshuah3091 therefore sent them forthh7971h8799: and they wenth3212h8799 to lie in ambushh3993, and abodeh3427h8799 between Bethelh1008 and Aih5857, on the west sideh3220 of Aih5857: but Joshuah3091 lodgedh3885h8799 that nighth3915 amongh8432 the peopleh5971.

And all the peopleh5971, even the people of warh4421 that were with him, went uph5927h8804, and drew nighh5066h8799, and cameh935h8799 before the cityh5892, and pitchedh2583h8799 on the north sideh6828 of Aih5857: now there was a valleyh1516 between them and Aih5857.

14

And it came to pass, when the kingh4428 of Aih5857 sawh7200h8800 it , that they hastedh4116h8762 and rose up earlyh7925h8686, and the menh582 of the cityh5892 went outh3318h8799 againsth7125h8800 Israelh3478 to battleh4421, he and all his peopleh5971, at a time appointedh4150, beforeh6440 the plainh6160; but he wisth3045h8804 not that there were liers in ambushh693h8802 against him behindh310 the cityh5892.

15

And Joshuah3091 and all Israelh3478 made as if they were beatenh5060h8735 beforeh6440 them, and fledh5127h8799 by the wayh1870 of the wildernessh4057.

16

And all the peopleh5971 that were in Aih5857h8675h5892 were calledh2199h8735 together to pursueh7291h8800 afterh310 them: and they pursuedh7291h8799 afterh310 Joshuah3091, and were drawn awayh5423h8735 from the cityh5892.

17

And there was not a manh376 lefth7604h8738 in Aih5857 or Bethelh1008, that went not outh3318h8804 afterh310 Israelh3478: and they lefth5800h8799 the cityh5892 openh6605h8803, and pursuedh7291h8799 after Israelh3478.

18

And the LORDh3068 saidh559h8799 unto Joshuah3091, Stretch outh5186h8798 the spearh3591 that is in thy handh3027 toward Aih5857; for I will giveh5414h8799 it into thine handh3027. And Joshuah3091 stretched outh5186h8799 the spearh3591 that he had in his handh3027 toward the cityh5892.

19

And the ambushh693h8802 aroseh6965h8804 quicklyh4120 out of their placeh4725, and they ranh7323h8799 as soon as he had stretched outh5186h8800 his handh3027: and they enteredh935h8799 into the cityh5892, and tookh3920h8799 it, and hastedh4116h8762 and seth3341h8686 the cityh5892 on fireh784.

20

And when the menh582 of Aih5857 lookedh6437h8799 behindh310 them, they sawh7200h8799, and, behold, the smokeh6227 of the cityh5892 ascended uph5927h8804 to heavenh8064, and they had no powerh3027 to fleeh5127h8800 this way or that wayh2008: and the peopleh5971 that fledh5127h8801 to the wildernessh4057 turned backh2015h8738 upon the pursuersh7291h8802. power: Heb. hand

21

And when Joshuah3091 and all Israelh3478 sawh7200h8804 that the ambushh693h8802 had takenh3920h8804 the cityh5892, and that the smokeh6227 of the cityh5892 ascendedh5927h8804, then they turned againh7725h8799, and slewh5221h8686 the menh582 of Aih5857.

22

And the otherh428 issued outh3318h8804 of the cityh5892 againsth7125h8800 them; so they were in the midsth8432 of Israelh3478, some on this side, and some on that side: and they smoteh5221h8686 them, so thath5704 they leth7604h8689 none of them remainh8300 or escapeh6412.

23

And the kingh4428 of Aih5857 they tookh8610h8804 aliveh2416, and broughth7126h8686 him to Joshuah3091.

24

And it came to pass, when Israelh3478 had made an endh3615h8763 of slayingh2026h8800 all the inhabitantsh3427h8802 of Aih5857 in the fieldh7704, in the wildernessh4057 wherein they chasedh7291h8804 them, and when they were all fallenh5307h8799 on the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719, until they were consumedh8552h8800, that all the Israelitesh3478 returnedh7725h8799 unto Aih5857, and smoteh5221h8686 it with the edgeh6310 of the swordh2719.

25

And so it was, that all that fellh5307h8802 that dayh3117, both of menh376 and womenh802, were twelveh8147h6240 thousandh505, even all the menh582 of Aih5857.

26

For Joshuah3091 drewh7725 not his handh3027 backh7725h8689, wherewith he stretched outh5186h8804 the spearh3591, until he had utterly destroyedh2763h8689 all the inhabitantsh3427h8802 of Aih5857.

27

Only the cattleh929 and the spoilh7998 of that cityh5892 Israelh3478 took for a preyh962h8804 unto themselves, according unto the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068 which he commandedh6680h8765 Joshuah3091.

28

And Joshuah3091 burnth8313h8799 Aih5857, and madeh7760h8799 it an heaph8510 for everh5769, even a desolationh8077 unto this dayh3117.

29

And the kingh4428 of Aih5857 he hangedh8518h8804 on a treeh6086 until eventideh6256h6153: and as soon as the sunh8121 was downh935h8800, Joshuah3091 commandedh6680h8765 that they should takeh3381 his carcaseh5038 downh3381h8686 from the treeh6086, and casth7993h8686 it at the enteringh6607 of the gateh8179 of the cityh5892, and raiseh6965h8686 thereon a greath1419 heaph1530 of stonesh68, that remaineth unto this dayh3117.

30

Then Joshuah3091 builth1129h8799 an altarh4196 unto the LORDh3068 Godh430 of Israelh3478 in mounth2022 Ebalh5858,

31

As Mosesh4872 the servanth5650 of the LORDh3068 commandedh6680h8765 the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478, as it is writtenh3789h8803 in the bookh5612 of the lawh8451 of Mosesh4872, an altarh4196 of wholeh8003 stonesh68, over which no man hath lift uph5130h8689 any ironh1270: and they offeredh5927h8686 thereon burnt offeringsh5930 unto the LORDh3068, and sacrificedh2076h8799 peace offeringsh8002.

32

And he wroteh3789h8799 there upon the stonesh68 a copyh4932 of the lawh8451 of Mosesh4872, which he wroteh3789h8804 in the presenceh6440 of the childrenh1121 of Israelh3478.

33

And all Israelh3478, and their eldersh2205, and officersh7860h8802, and their judgesh8199h8802, stoodh5975h8802 on this side the arkh727 and on that side before the priestsh3548 the Levitesh3881, which bareh5375h8802 the arkh727 of the covenanth1285 of the LORDh3068, as well the strangerh1616, as he that was bornh249 among them; halfh2677 of them overh413 againsth4136 mounth2022 Gerizimh1630, and halfh2677 of them over againsth4136 mounth2022 Ebalh5858; as Mosesh4872 the servanth5650 of the LORDh3068 had commandedh6680h8765 beforeh7223, that they should blessh1288h8763 the peopleh5971 of Israelh3478.

34

And afterwardh310 he readh7121h8804 all the wordsh1697 of the lawh8451, the blessingsh1293 and cursingsh7045, according to all that is writtenh3789h8803 in the bookh5612 of the lawh8451.

35

There was not a wordh1697 of all that Mosesh4872 commandedh6680h8765, which Joshuah3091 readh7121h8804 not before all the congregationh6951 of Israelh3478, with the womenh802, and the little onesh2945, and the strangersh1616 that were conversanth1980h8802 amongh7130 them. were...: Heb. walked
