Joshua 8:16-18
New Catholic Bible
16 All of the men of Ai were summoned to pursue them. They followed after Joshua, and thus were drawn away from the city. 17 Every single man in Ai and Bethel went out after the Israelites. They left the city open and pursued the Israelites.
18 The Lord then said to Joshua, “Stretch out the spear in your hand toward Ai, for I will deliver it into your hands.” So Joshua stretched out the spear in his hands toward the city.
