Joshua 8:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ So Joshua and the whole army marched towards Ai. Joshua chose 30,000 of the best soldiers and he sent some of them out at night time. ⁴ He said to them, ‘Listen carefully. Go and hide behind the city. Stay near to it. Be ready to attack! ⁵ In the morning, I will march towards the city with our other soldiers. When we get near to the city, the enemy's men will come out of the city to fight against us, as they did before. Then we will turn round and we will run away.
