Joshua 8:4-7

Christian Standard Bible

⁴ He commanded them, “Pay attention. Lie in ambush behind the city, not too far from it, and all of you be ready.^{(A) 5} Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. When they come out against us as they did the first time, we will flee from them. ⁶ They will come after us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, ‘They are fleeing from us as before.’ While we are fleeing from them, ⁷ you are to come out of your ambush and seize the city. The Lord your God will hand it over to you.
