Joshua 8:26 in Context — Joshua 8
24 Lorsqu’Israël eut achevé de tuer tous les habitants d’Aï dans la campagne, dans le désert, où ils l’avaient poursuivi, et que tous furent entièrement passés au fil de l’épée, tout Israël revint vers Aï et la frappa du tranchant de l’épée.
25 Il y eut au total douze mille personnes tuées ce jour-là, hommes et femmes, tous gens d’Aï.
26 Josué ne retira point sa main qu’il tenait étendue avec le javelot, jusqu’à ce que tous les habitants eussent été dévoués par interdit.
27 Seulement Israël garda pour lui le bétail et le butin de cette ville, selon l’ordre que l’Éternel avait prescrit à Josué.
28 Josué brûla Aï, et en fit à jamais un monceau de ruines, qui subsiste encore aujourd’hui.
