Joshua 8:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “Then you shall rise up from lying in wait and destroy the city. For the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

⁸ “And when you have taken the city, you shall set it on fire. According to the Commandment of the LORD you shall do so. Behold, I have charged you.”

⁹ Joshua then sent them forth. And they went to lie in wait, and stayed between Bethel and Ai, on the West side of Ai. But Joshua lodged that night among the people.
