Joshua 8:7-13 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

7. and ye rise from the ambush, and have occupied the city, and Jehovah your God hath given it into your hand;

8. and it hath been, when ye capture the city, ye burn the city with fire, according to the word of Jehovah ye do, see, I have commanded you.'

9. And Joshua sendeth them away, and they go unto the ambush, and abide between Bethel and Ai, on the west of Ai; and Joshua lodgeth on that night in the midst of the people.

10. And Joshua riseth early in the morning, and inspecteth the people, and goeth up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai;

11. and all the people of war who [are] with him have gone up, and draw nigh and come in over-against the city, and encamp on the north of Ai; and the valley [is] between him and Ai.

12. And he taketh about five thousand men, and setteth them an ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west of the city;

13. and they set the people, all the camp which [is] on the north of the city, and its rear on the west of the city, and Joshua goeth on that night into the midst of the valley.
