Joshua 8:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵ I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. When they come out against us, as before, we shall flee from them. ⁶ They will come out after us until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, ‘They are fleeing from us, as before.’ While we flee from them, ⁷ you shall rise up from the ambush and seize the city; for the Lord your God will give it into your hand.
