Joshua 8:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ And when you have taken the city, you shall set the city on fire, doing as the Lord has bidden; see, I have commanded you.” ⁹ So Joshua sent them forth; and they went to the place of ambush, and lay between Bethel and Ai, to the west of Ai; but Joshua spent that night among the people.

¹⁰ And Joshua arose early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, with the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.
