Joshua 8:17-19

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁷ Not one man was left in Ai or Bethel; they all went after Israel. So the city was left unprotected as they chased Israel.

¹⁸ Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Hold out the spear in your hand toward the city, because I am handing Ai over to you.” So Joshua held out his spear. ¹⁹ The men who were hiding got up as soon as he stretched out his hand. They entered the city, captured it, and quickly set it on fire.
