Joshua 8:5-7
Lexham English Bible
5 Then I and all of the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they go out to meet us as before,[a] we will flee from them.[b] 6 They will come out after us until we draw them away from the city, because they will think, ‘They are fleeing from us[c] as before.’[d] So we will flee from them.[e] 7 Then you will rise up from the ambush and take possession of the city, for Yahweh your God will give it into your hand.

New International Version
5 I and all those with me will advance on the city, and when the men come out against us, as they did before, we will flee from them. 6 They will pursue us until we have lured them away from the city, for they will say, ‘They are running away from us as they did before.’ So when we flee from them, 7 you are to rise up from ambush and take the city. The Lord your God will give it into your hand.(A)
