Joshua 8:26 in Context — Joshua 8

24 Y cuando los Israelitas acabaron de matar á todos los moradores de Hai en el campo, en el desierto, donde ellos los habían perseguido, y que todos habían caído á filo de espada hasta ser consumidos, todos los Israelitas se tornaron á Hai, y también la pusieron á cuchillo.

25 Y el número de los que cayeron aquel día, hombres y mujeres, fué doce mil, todos los de Hai.

26 Y Josué no retrajo su mano que había extendido con la lanza, hasta que hubo destruído á todos los moradores de Hai.

27 Empero los Israelitas tomaron para sí las bestias y los despojos de la ciudad, conforme á la palabra de Jehová que él había mandado á Josué.

28 Y Josué quemó á Hai y redújola á un montón perpetuo, asolado hasta hoy.
