Joshua 8:5-7

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ and I, and all the people who are with me, will approach the city. And when they come out against us, as before, we shall flee before them; ⁶ and they will come out after us, till we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, ‘They are fleeing from us, as before.’ So we will flee from them; ⁷ then you shall rise up from the ambush, and seize the city; for the Lord your God will give it into your hand.
