Joshua 8:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ you are to come out of your ambush and seize the city, for the Lord your God has handed it over to you. ⁸ After taking the city, set it on fire. Follow the Lord’s command—see that you do as I have ordered you.” ⁹ So Joshua sent them out, and they went to the ambush site and waited between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai. But he spent that night with the troops.
