Joshua 8:8-10

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁸ When you have taken the city, you shall set it afire; as the Lord commanded, you shall do. See, I have commanded you.

⁹ So Joshua sent them forth, and they went to the place of ambush and remained between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of Ai; but Joshua lodged that night among the people.

¹⁰ Joshua rose up early in the morning and mustered the men, and went up with the elders of Israel before the warriors to Ai.
