Joshua 8:6 in Context — Joshua 8
4 et auxquels il donna cet ordre: Écoutez, vous vous mettrez en embuscade derrière la ville; ne vous éloignez pas beaucoup de la ville, et soyez tous prêts.
5 Mais moi et tout le peuple qui est avec moi, nous nous approcherons de la ville. Et quand ils sortiront à notre rencontre, comme la première fois, nous prendrons la fuite devant eux.
6 Ils nous poursuivront jusqu’à ce que nous les ayons attirés loin de la ville, car ils diront: Ils fuient devant nous, comme la première fois! Et nous fuirons devant eux.
7 Vous sortirez alors de l’embuscade, et vous vous emparerez de la ville, et l’Éternel, votre Dieu, la livrera entre vos mains.
8 Quand vous aurez pris la ville, vous y mettrez le feu, vous agirez comme l’Éternel l’a dit: c’est l’ordre que je vous donne.
