Joshua 8:3-5

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³ So Joshua arose, and all the people of war, to go up against Ai; [he] chose thirty thousand mighty men of strength and sent them forth by night.

⁴ And he commanded them, Behold, you shall lie in wait against the city behind it. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.

⁵ And I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out against us, as the first time, we will flee before them
