Joshua 8:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ When you have seized the city, set it on fire. Act according to the word of the Lord. See, I have commanded you.”

⁹ So Joshua sent them out. They went to the place of ambush and took up a position between Bethel and Ai, westward of Ai, and Joshua spent the night among the people.

¹⁰ Joshua got up early in the morning and mustered the people. He and the elders of Israel went up before the people to Ai.
