NASB
"So Joshua burned Ai and made it a heap forever, a desolation until this day."
— Joshua 8:28, NASB
“And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.”
“So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap for ever, even a desolation, unto this day. ”
“So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.”
“Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanently uninhabited mound(it remains that way to this very day).”
“And he burnt the city, and made it a heap forever:”
“So Joshua gave Ai to the flames, and made it a waste mass of stones for ever, as it is to this day.”
“And Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever, even a desolation unto this day.”
All who fell that day, both men and women, were 12,000--all the people of Ai.
For Joshua did not withdraw his hand with which he stretched out the javelin until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.
Israel took only the cattle and the spoil of that city as plunder for themselves, according to the word of the LORD which He had commanded Joshua.
So Joshua burned Ai and made it a heap forever, a desolation until this day.
He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening; and at sunset Joshua gave command and they took his body down from the tree and threw it at the entrance of the city gate, and raised over it a great heap of stones that stands to this day.
Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,
just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded the sons of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones on which no man had wielded an iron tool; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, and sacrificed peace offerings.
