Joshua 8
1 Then the Lord said to Joshua: “You should not fear, and you should not dread. Take with you the entire multitude of fighters, and rising up, ascend to the town of Ai. Behold, I have delivered into your hand its king and people, and the city and the land.
and to say LORD to(wards) Joshua not to fear and not to to be dismayed to take: take with you [obj] all people: soldiers [the] battle and to arise: rise to ascend: rise [the] Ai to see: behold! to give: give in/on/with hand: power your [obj] king [the] Ai and [obj] people his and [obj] city his and [obj] land: country/planet his
2 And you shall do to the city of Ai, and to its king, just as you did to Jericho, and to its king. Yet truly, the spoils, and all the living things, you shall plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush against the city behind it.”
and to make: do to/for Ai and to/for king her like/as as which to make: do to/for Jericho and to/for king her except spoil her and animal her to plunder to/for you to set: put to/for you to ambush to/for city from after her
3 And Joshua rose up, and the entire army of warriors with him, so that they might ascend against Ai. And he sent thirty thousand elect strong men in the night.
and to arise: rise Joshua and all people: soldiers [the] battle to/for to ascend: rise [the] Ai and to choose Joshua thirty thousand man mighty man [the] strength and to send: depart them night
4 And he instructed them, saying: “Set an ambush behind the city. You shall withdraw not far away, and let everyone be prepared.
and to command [obj] them to/for to say to see: behold! you(m. p.) to ambush to/for city from after [the] city not to remove from [the] city much and to be all your to establish: prepare
5 But I and the remainder of the multitude that is with me will approach from the opposite side of the city. And when they come out against us, we will flee and turn our backs, just as we did before,
and I and all [the] people which with me to present: come to(wards) [the] city and to be for to come out: come to/for to encounter: toward us like/as as which in/on/with first: previous and to flee to/for face: before their
6 until, pursuing us, they are drawn away from the city. For they will think that we are fleeing as before.
and to come out: come after us till to tear we [obj] them from [the] city for to say to flee to/for face: before our like/as as which in/on/with first: previous and to flee to/for face: before their
7 Then, while we are fleeing and they are pursuing, you shall rise up from the ambush, and you shall lay waste to the city. And the Lord your God will deliver it into your hands.
and you(m. p.) to arise: rise from [the] to ambush and to possess: take [obj] [the] city and to give: give her LORD God your in/on/with hand: power your
8 And when you have seized it, set it on fire. And you shall do all that I have ordered.”
and to be like/as to capture you [obj] [the] city to kindle [obj] [the] city in/on/with fire like/as word LORD to make: do to see: behold! to command [obj] you
9 And he sent them away, and they traveled to the place of the ambush, and they settled between Bethel and Ai, toward the western region of the city of Ai. But Joshua remained for that night in the midst of the people.
and to send: depart them Joshua and to go: went to(wards) [the] ambush and to dwell between Bethel Bethel and between [the] Ai from sea: west to/for Ai and to lodge Joshua in/on/with night [the] he/she/it in/on/with midst [the] people
10 And rising at first light, he reviewed his troops, and he went up, with the elders at the front of the army, surrounded by an auxiliary of fighters.
and to rise Joshua in/on/with morning and to reckon: list [obj] [the] people and to ascend: rise he/she/it and old: elder Israel to/for face: before [the] people [the] Ai
11 And when they had arrived, and had ascended from the opposite side of the city, they stood toward the northern region of the city. And there was a valley in the middle, between them and the city.
and all [the] people: soldiers [the] battle which with him to ascend: rise and to approach: approach and to come (in): towards before [the] city and to camp from north to/for Ai and [the] valley (between him *Q(k)*) and between [the] Ai
12 Now he had chosen five thousand men, and he had positioned them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, at the western part of the same city.
and to take: take like/as five thousand man and to set: make [obj] them to ambush between Bethel Bethel and between [the] Ai from sea: west to/for city
13 Yet truly, all the remainder of the army was arranged in a line to the north, so that the very end of that multitude reached to the western region of the city. Then Joshua went out that night, and he stood in the middle of the valley.
and to set: put [the] people: soldiers [obj] all [the] camp which from north to/for city and [obj] heel his from sea: west to/for city and to go: continue Joshua in/on/with night [the] he/she/it in/on/with midst [the] valley
14 And when the king of Ai had seen this, he hurried in the morning, and he went out with the entire army of the city. And he arranged them in a line opposite the desert, not knowing that an ambush lay hidden behind his back.
and to be like/as to see: see king [the] Ai and to hasten and to rise and to come out: come human [the] city to/for to encounter: toward Israel to/for battle he/she/it and all people his to/for meeting: time appointed to/for face: before [the] Arabah and he/she/it not to know for to ambush to/for him from after [the] city
15 Yet truly, Joshua, and all of Israel, withdrew from the place, pretending to be afraid, and fleeing along the way of the wilderness.
and to touch Joshua and all Israel to/for face: before their and to flee way: direction [the] wilderness
16 And they pursued them, shouting together and encouraging one another. And when they had withdrawn from the city,
and to cry out all [the] people which (in/on/with Ai *Q(K)*) to/for to pursue after them and to pursue after Joshua and to tear from [the] city
17 and indeed not one remained in the city of Ai and of Bethel who did not pursue after Israel, (leaving the towns open after they had rushed out, )
and not to remain man: anyone in/on/with Ai and Bethel Bethel which not to come out: come after Israel and to leave: forsake [obj] [the] city to open and to pursue after Israel
18 the Lord said to Joshua: “Lift up the shield that is in your hand, toward the city of Ai. For I will deliver it to you.”
and to say LORD to(wards) Joshua to stretch in/on/with javelin which in/on/with hand your to(wards) [the] Ai for in/on/with hand your to give: give her and to stretch Joshua in/on/with javelin which in/on/with hand his to(wards) [the] city
19 And when he had lifted up the shield toward the city, the ambush, which lay hidden, rose up quickly. And advancing to the city, they seized it, and set it on fire.
and [the] to ambush to arise: rise haste from place his and to run: run like/as to stretch hand his and to come (in): come [the] city and to capture her and to hasten and to kindle [obj] [the] city in/on/with fire
20 Now the men of the city who were pursuing Joshua, looking back and seeing the smoke of the city rising up even to heaven, were no longer able to flee in one direction or another, especially since those who had pretended to flee, and who were heading toward the wilderness, had turned back very strongly against those who were pursuing them.
and to turn human [the] Ai after them and to see: behold! and behold to ascend: rise smoke [the] city [the] heaven [to] and not to be in/on/with them hand: power to/for to flee here/thus and here/thus and [the] people [the] to flee [the] wilderness to overturn to(wards) [the] to pursue
21 And Joshua, and all of Israel, seeing that the city had been captured, and that the smoke of the city was ascending, returned and struck down the men of Ai.
and Joshua and all Israel to see: see for to capture [the] to ambush [obj] [the] city and for to ascend: rise smoke [the] city and to return: return and to smite [obj] human [the] Ai
22 Then too, those who had seized and set the city on fire, departing from the city toward their own men, began to strike the enemies in the middle. Therefore, since the adversaries were cut off from both sides, none of so great a multitude was saved.
and these to come out: come from [the] city to/for to encounter: toward them and to be to/for Israel in/on/with midst these from this and these from this and to smite [obj] them till lest to remain to/for him survivor and survivor
23 Also, they apprehended the king of the city of Ai, alive, and they brought him before Joshua.
and [obj] king [the] Ai to capture alive and to present: bring [obj] him to(wards) Joshua
24 And so, after all were slain who had pursued Israel fleeing toward the wilderness, and after they fell by the sword in the same place, the sons of Israel returned and struck the city.
and to be like/as to end: finish Israel to/for to kill [obj] all to dwell [the] Ai in/on/with land: country in/on/with wilderness which to pursue them in/on/with him and to fall: kill all their to/for lip: edge sword till to finish they and to return: return all Israel [the] Ai and to smite [obj] her to/for lip: edge sword
25 Now there were twelve thousand persons who had fallen on the same day, from man even to woman, the entire city of Ai.
and to be all [the] to fall: kill in/on/with day [the] he/she/it from man and till woman two ten thousand all human [the] Ai
26 Truly Joshua did not draw back his hand, which he had stretched out on high, keeping hold of the shield until all the inhabitants of Ai were put to death.
and Joshua not to return: return hand his which to stretch in/on/with javelin till which to devote/destroy [obj] all to dwell [the] Ai
27 Then the sons of Israel divided among themselves the cattle and the plunder of the city, just as the Lord had instructed Joshua.
except [the] animal and spoil [the] city [the] he/she/it to plunder to/for them Israel like/as word LORD which to command [obj] Joshua
28 And he set fire to the city, and he caused it to be a perpetual tomb.
and to burn Joshua [obj] [the] Ai and to set: make her mound forever: enduring devastation till [the] day: today [the] this
29 Also, he suspended the king on a gallows, until evening and the setting of the sun. And Joshua instructed, and they took down his dead body from the hanging tree. And they cast it at the very entrance of the city, gathering a great pile of stones upon it, which remains even to the present day.
and [obj] king [the] Ai to hang upon [the] tree till time [the] evening and like/as to come (in): besiege [the] sun to command Joshua and to go down [obj] carcass his from [the] tree and to throw [obj] her to(wards) entrance gate [the] city and to arise: raise upon him heap stone great: large till [the] day: today [the] this
30 Then Joshua built an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
then to build Joshua altar to/for LORD God Israel in/on/with mountain: mount (Mount) Ebal
31 just as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had instructed to the sons of Israel, and this was written in the book of the law of Moses: truly, an altar of uncut stones, which iron has not touched. And he offered holocausts upon it to the Lord, and he immolated victims as peace-offerings.
like/as as which to command Moses servant/slave LORD [obj] son: descendant/people Israel like/as to write in/on/with scroll: book instruction Moses altar stone complete which not to wave upon them iron and to ascend: offer up upon him burnt offering to/for LORD and to sacrifice peace offering
32 And he wrote on the stones, the Deuteronomy of the law of Moses, which he had set in order before the sons of Israel.
and to write there upon [the] stone [obj] second instruction Moses which to write to/for face son: descendant/people Israel
33 Then all the people, and those greater by birth, and the commanders and judges were standing on both sides of the ark, in the sight of the priests who were carrying the ark of the covenant of the Lord, with both the new arrival and the native born, one half part of them beside Mount Gerizim, and one half beside Mount Ebal, just as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had instructed. And first, certainly, he blessed the people of Israel.
and all Israel and old: elder his and official and to judge him to stand: stand from this and from this to/for ark before [the] priest [the] Levi to lift: bear ark covenant LORD like/as sojourner like/as born half his to(wards) opposite mountain: mount (Mount) Gerizim and [the] half his to(wards) opposite mountain: mount (Mount) Ebal like/as as which to command Moses servant/slave LORD to/for to bless [obj] [the] people Israel in/on/with first: previous
34 After this, he read all the words of the blessing and the cursing, and all the things that were written in the book of the law.
and after so to call: read out [obj] all word [the] instruction [the] blessing and [the] curse like/as all [the] to write in/on/with scroll: book [the] instruction
35 He left nothing untouched out of those things that Moses had ordered, and he repeated everything before the entire multitude of Israel, with the women and the little ones, and the new arrivals who were staying among them.
not to be word from all which to command Moses which not to call: read out Joshua before all assembly Israel and [the] woman and [the] child and [the] sojourner [the] to go: walk in/on/with entrails: among their
