Joshua 8:17-19

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁷ so that there was not a man left in Ai or in Bethel who did not go out after Israel. And they left the city open and pursued after Israel.

¹⁸ Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Stretch out the spear that is in your hand toward Ai. For I will give it into your hand.” And Joshua stretched out the spear that he had in his hand toward the city.

¹⁹ And those who lay in wait arose quickly out of their place and ran, as soon as he had stretched out his hand. And they entered into the city and took it and hurried and set the city on fire.
