“And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.”
“And Joshua arose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai. ”
“Joshua rose up early in the morning, mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.”
“Bright and early the next morning Joshua gathered the army, and he and the leaders of Israel marched at the head of it to Ai.”
“And rising early in the morning, he mustered his soldiers, and went up with the ancients in the front of the army, environed with the aid of the fighting men.”
“And early in the morning Joshua got up, and put the people in order, and he and the chiefs of Israel went up before the people to Ai.”
“And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.”
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 when you have seized it, set it on fire. And you shall do all that I have ordered.”
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 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 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.
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.
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.
