Joshua 8:16 in Context — Joshua 8
14 Lorsque le roi d’Aï vit cela, les gens d’Aï se levèrent en hâte de bon matin, et sortirent à la rencontre d’Israël, pour le combattre. Le roi se dirigea, avec tout son peuple, vers un lieu fixé, du côté de la plaine, et il ne savait pas qu’il y avait derrière la ville une embuscade contre lui.
15 Josué et tout Israël feignirent d’être battus devant eux, et ils s’enfuirent par le chemin du désert.
16 Alors tout le peuple qui était dans la ville s’assembla pour se mettre à leur poursuite. Ils poursuivirent Josué, et ils furent attirés loin de la ville.
17 Il n’y eut dans Aï et dans Béthel pas un homme qui ne sortît contre Israël. Ils laissèrent la ville ouverte, et poursuivirent Israël.
18 L’Éternel dit à Josué: Étends vers Aï le javelot que tu as à la main, car je vais la livrer en ton pouvoir. Et Josué étendit vers la ville le javelot qu’il avait à la main.
