Yehoshua 8:13-15

Orthodox Jewish Bible

¹³ And when they had set HaAm, even Kol HaMachaneh that was on the north of the Ir, and the ambush to the west of the Ir, Yehoshua went that lailah into the midst of the emek (valley).

¹⁴ And it came to pass, when the melech of Ai saw it, that they hastened and rose up early, and the anshei HaIr went out against Yisroel in the milchamah, he and all his people, at the place, before the Aravah; but he had no da’as that there was an ambush against him set up behind the Ir.

¹⁵ And Yehoshua and kol Yisroel let themselves be driven before them, and fled by the derech hamidbar.
