9 G2532 And G649 [²sent G1473 ³them G* ¹Joshua], G2532 and G4198 they went G1519 to G3588 the G1747 ambush, G2532 and G1455.2 sat in place G303.1 between G* Beth-el G2532 and G303.1 between G* Ai, G575 from G2281 the west G3588 G* of Ai. G2532 And G835 Joshua lodged G* G3588 G3571 that night G1565 G1722 in G3319 the midst G3588 of the G2992 people.

10 G2532 And G3719 Joshua rising early G* G4404 in the morning, G1980 numbered G3588 the G2992 people. G2532 And G305 they ascended, G1473 he G2532 and G3588 the G4245 elders G* of Israel, G2596 before G4383 the face G3588 of the G2992 people, G1909 against G* Ai.

11 G2532 And G3956 all G3588 the G2992 people, G3588 the G4170.3 warrior, G3588 the one G3326 with G1473 him, G305 ascended. G2532 And G4198 going, G2064 they came G1828.2 right opposite G3588 the G4172 city G575 from G395 the east. G2532 And G3588 the G1749 ambushes G3588 of the G4172 city G575 were from G2281 the west. G2532 And G3924.2 they encamped G575 from G1005 north G3588 G* of Ai. G2532 And G3588 the G2835.1 valley G303.1 was between G1473 it G2532 and G3588 G* Ai

12 G2532 And G2983 he took G5613 about G4002 five G5505 thousand G435 men, G2532 and G5087 he stationed G1473 them G1749 in ambush G303.1 between G3588 G* Beth-el G2532 and G3588 G* Ai, G2281 west G3588 G* of Ai.

13 G2532 And G5021 he arranged G3588 [²the G2992 ³people G3956 ¹all] G3588 of the G3925 camp, G3739 which G1510.7.3 was G575 from G1005 north G3588 of the G4172 city, G2532 G3588 the G2078 ends G1473 of it G2281 west G3588 of the G4172 city. G2532 And G4198 Joshua went G* G3588 G3571 that night G1565 G1722 in G3319 the midst G3588 of the G2835.1 valley.

14 G2532 And G1096 it happened G5613 as G1492 [⁴beheld G3588 ¹the G935 ²king G* ³of Ai], G2532 that G4692 he hastened G2532 and G3719 rose early. G2532 And G1831 there went forth G3588 the G435 men G3588 of the G4172 city G1519 to G4877 meet G1473 them G1909 straight on G2117 G1519 into G3588 the G4171 battle, G1473 he G2532 and G3956 all G3588 G2992 his people G1473 G1519 at G3588 the G2540 opportune time, G2596 in G4383 front G3588 of the G* Araba. G2532 And G1473 he G3756 did not G1492 know G3754 that G1747 an ambush G1473 against him G1510.2.3 is G3694 behind G3588 the G4172 city.

15 G2532 And G1492 [⁵beheld G2532 ⁶and G402 ⁷withdrew G* ¹Joshua G2532 ²and G3956 ³all G* ⁴Israel] G575 from G4383 in front G1473 of them.

16 G2532 And G5343 the people fled G3598 by the way G3588 of the G2048 wilderness, G2532 and G1765 [⁵grew in strength G3956 ¹all G3588 ²the G2992 ³people G3588 G* ⁴of Ai] G3588 G2614 to pursue G3694 after G1473 them G3588 of the G5207 sons G* of Israel. G2532 And G1473 they G868 departed G575 from G3588 the G4172 city.

17 G3756 They did not G2641 leave behind G3762 any one G1722 in G3588 G* Ai G2532 and G1722 in G* Beth-el G3739 who G3756 did not G2614 pursue G3694 after G* Israel. G2532 And G2641 they left G3588 the G4172 city G455 being open, G2532 and G2614 they pursued G3694 after G* Israel.

18 G2532 And G2036 the lord said G2962 G4314 to G* Joshua, G1614 Stretch out G3588 G5495 your hand G1473 G3588 with the G1050.1 javelin, G3588 the G1722 one in G3588 G5495 your hand, G1473 G1909 against G3588 the G4172 city, G1519 for into G1063 G3588 G5495 your hands G1473 G1325 I gave G1473 it. G2532 And G3588 the G1749 ones in ambush G1817 shall rise up G1722 G5034 quickly G1537 from out of G3588 G5117 their place. G1473

19 G2532 And G1614 Joshua stretched G3588 G* G3588 the G1050.1 javelin G2532 and G3588 G5495 his hand G1473 G1909 against G3588 the G4172 city, G2532 and G3588 the G1749 ones in ambush G1817 rose up G1722 G5034 quickly G1537 from out of G3588 G5117 their place. G1473 G2532 And G1831 they went forth G3753 when G1614 he stretched out G3588 the G5495 hand. G2532 And G1525 they entered G1519 into G3588 the G4172 city, G2532 and G2638 overtook G1473 it. G2532 And G4692 hastening G1714 they burned G3588 the G4172 city G1722 in G4442 fire.

20 G2532 And G4017 [⁴looking about G3588 ¹the G2733.3 ²inhabitants G* ³of Ai] G1519 unto G3588 the G3694 rear G1473 of them, G2532 and G2334 they viewed G3588 the G2586 smoke G3588 of the G4172 city G305 ascending G1519 into G3588 the G3772 heaven; G2532 and G3765 no longer G2192 had they G4226 anywhere G5343 to flee G5602 here on this side G2228 or G5602 here on that side . G2532 And G3588 the G2992 people G3588 G5343 fleeing G1519 into G3588 the G2048 wilderness G4762 turned G2089 upon G3588 the ones G1377 pursuing.

21 G2532 And G* Joshua G2532 and G3956 all G* Israel G1492 beheld G3754 that G2983 [³took G3588 ¹the G1749 ²ones in ambush] G3588 the G4172 city, G2532 and G3754 that G305 [⁵ascended G3588 ¹the G2586 ²smoke G3588 ³of the G4172 ⁴city] G1519 into G3588 the G3772 heaven; G2532 and G3328 turning G3960 they struck G3588 the G435 men G3588 G* of Ai.

22 G2532 And G3778 these G1831 came forth G1537 from G3588 the G4172 city G1519 to G4877 meet G1473 them. G2532 And G1096 they came G303.1 in the midst G3588 of the G3925 camp, G3778 some of these G1782 here G2532 and G3778 some of these G1782 here. G2532 And G3960 they struck G1473 them G2193 until G3588 there was G3361 not G2641 one being left behind G1473 of them G4982 being delivered G2532 and G1309 escaping.

23 G2532 And G3588 the G935 king G3588 G* of Ai G4815 was seized G2198 alive, G2532 and G4317 they led G1473 him G4314 to G* Joshua.

24 G2532 And G1096 it happened G5613 as G3973 [⁴ceased G3588 ¹the G5207 ²sons G* ³of Israel] G615 killing G3956 all G3588 the ones G1722 in G3588 G* Ai, G2532 and G1722 in G3588 the G3977.1 plains, G2532 and G1722 in G3588 the G3735 mountain G1909 upon G3588 the G2600 descent G3739 of which G2614 they pursued G1473 them, G2532 that G4098 all fell G3956 G1722 by G4750 the mouth G4501 of the broadsword, G575 by G1473 it G1519 unto G5056 completion. G2532 And G1994 Joshua returned G* G1519 to G* Ai, G2532 and G3960 struck G1473 it G1722 by the G4750 mouth G4501 of the broadsword.

25 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass that G3956 all G3588 the ones G4098 falling G3588 in G2250 that day, G1565 G575 from G435 man G2532 and G2193 unto G1135 woman -- G1427 twelve G5505 thousand, G3956 all G3588 the G2730 ones dwelling G* in Ai.

26 G2532 And G* Joshua G3756 returned not G1994 G5495 his hand G1473 G3739 which G1614 he stretched out G1722 by G3588 the G1050.1 javelin G2193 until G332 he devoted to consumption G4840.2 the whole G3588 of the ones G2730 dwelling G* Ai.

27 G4133 Except G3588 the G2934 cattle G2532 and G3588 the G4661 spoils G3588 G1722 in G3588 G4172 that city G1565 G4307.1 [⁴despoiled G1438 ⁵for themselves G3588 ¹the G5207 ²sons G* ³of Israel] G2596 according to G4366.2 the order G2962 of the lord, G3739 in which G5158 manner G4929 the lord gave orders G2962 G3588 G* to Joshua.

28 G2532 And G1716.1 Joshua burned G* G3588 the G4172 city G1722 by G4442 fire, G2532 and G5087 he established G1473 it G5560.1 for an embankment G1519 into G3588 the G165 eon, G516.2 uninhabited G2193 until G3588 G2250 this day. G3778

29 G2532 And G3588 the G935 king G3588 G* of Ai G2910 he hung G1909 upon G3586 [²tree G1324 ¹a twin]. G2532 And G1510.7.3 he was G1909 upon G3588 the G3586 tree G2193 until G2540 the time G3588 of the G2073 evening. G2532 And G1931 at the setting G3588 of the G2246 sun G4929 Joshua gave orders, G* G2532 and G2507 they lowered G3588 G4983 his body G1473 G575 from G3588 the G3586 tree, G2532 and G4495 they tossed G1473 him G1519 into G3588 the G998.1 cesspool G4314 before G3588 the G4439 gate G3588 of the G4172 city, G2532 and G2186 set over G1473 him G4987.2 [²heap G3037 ³of stones G3173 ¹a large] G2193 until G3588 G2250 this day. G3778

30 G5119 Then G3618 Joshua built G* G2379 an altar G2962 to the lord G3588 G2316 God G* of Israel G1722 on G3735 mount G* Ebal,

31 G2530 as G1781 [⁵gave charge G* ¹Moses G3588 ²the G2324 ³attendant G2962 ⁴ of the lord] G3588 to the G5207 sons G* of Israel, G2505 as G1125 it is written G1722 in G3588 the G3551 law G* of Moses, G2379 An altar G3037 [²stone G3648 ¹entirely], G1909 upon G3739 which G3756 [²was not G1911 ³put G1909 ⁴upon G1473 ⁵it G4604 ¹an iron tool]. G2532 And G307 he transported G1563 there G3646 whole burnt-offerings G3588 to the G2962 lord, G2532 and G2378 a sacrifice G4992 of deliverance.

32 G2532 And G1125 Joshua wrote G* G1909 upon G3588 the G3037 stones G3588 the G1206.2 second book of the law, G3551 the law G* of Moses, G3739 which G1125 he wrote G1799 in the presence G3588 of the G5207 sons G* of Israel.

33 G2532 And G3956 all G* Israel, G2532 and G3588 G4245 their elders, G1473 G2532 and G3588 G1348 their magistrates, G1473 G2532 and G3588 G1122 their scribes, G1473 G3899 were coming near G1759.3 on this side and that side G2532 G1759.3 G3588 [²the G2787 ³ark G561 ¹before]; G2532 and G3588 the G2409 priests G2532 and G3588 the G* Levites G142 lifted G3588 the G2787 ark G3588 of the G1242 covenant G2962 of the lord; G2532 and G3588 the G4339 foreigner G2532 and G3588 the G849.1 native born G1510.7.6 were there; G3739 the G2255 halves G1473 of them G1909 neighboring G4139 G3735 mount G* Gerizim, G2532 and G3739 the G2255 halves G1909 neighboring G4139 G3735 mount G* Ebal, G2505 as G1781 [⁵gave charge G* ¹Moses G3588 ²the G2324 ³attendant G2962 ⁴ of the lord G2127 ⁸to bless G3588 ⁹the G2992 ¹⁰people G* ¹¹Israel G1722 ⁶at G4413 ⁷first].

34 G2532 And G3326 after G3778 these things G314 Joshua read G4840.2 the whole G3588 G4487 sayings G3588 G3551 of this law, G3778 G3588 the G2129 blessings G2532 and G3588 the G2671 curses, G2596 according to G3956 all G3588 the things G1125 being written G1722 in G3588 the G3551 law G* of Moses.

35 G3756 There was not G1510.7.3 G4487 a word G575 from G3956 all G3739 which G1781 Moses gave charge G* G3588 to G* Joshua, G3739 which G3756 [²did not G314 ³read G* ¹Joshua] G1519 into G3588 the G3775 ears G3956 of all G1577 the assembly G* of Israel, G3588 to the G435 men, G2532 and G3588 to the G1135 women, G2532 and G3588 to the G3813 servants, G2532 and G3588 to the G4339 foreigners G3588 G4365 going G3588 G* with Israel.
