Joshua 8:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ I and all those with me will march up to the city. The men of Ai will come out to fight against us, just as they did before. Then we’ll run away from them. ⁶ They’ll chase us until we’ve drawn them away from the city. They’ll say, ‘They are running away from us, just as they did before.’ When we run away from them, ⁷ come out of your hiding place. Capture the city. The Lord your God will hand it over to you.
