Joshua 8:6-9
New English Translation

6 They will attack[a] us until we have lured them from the city, for they will say, ‘They are retreating from us like before.’ We will retreat from them. 7 Then you rise up from your hiding place[b] and seize[c] the city. The Lord your God will hand it over to you. 8 When you capture the city, set it[d] on fire in keeping with the Lord’s message. See, I have given you orders.”[e] 9 Joshua sent them away and they went to their hiding place[f] west of Ai, between Bethel and Ai.[g] Joshua spent that night with the army.[h]
