Joshua 8:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ come out of your hiding place. Capture the city. The Lord your God will hand it over to you. ⁸ When you have taken it, set it on fire. Do what the Lord has commanded. Make sure you obey my orders.”

⁹ Then Joshua sent them away. They went to the place where they had planned to hide. They hid in a place west of Ai. It was between Bethel and Ai. But Joshua spent that night with his troops.
