Joshua 8:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ So Joshua and all the fighting men^[a] went up immediately to Ai. Joshua chose thirty thousand of the best fighting men and sent them by night. ⁴ And he commanded them, saying, “Look, you are to lay an ambush against the city from behind. Do not go very far from the city and be ready. ⁵ Then I and all of the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they go out to meet us as before,^[b] we will flee from them.^[c]
