Joshua 8:9 in Context — Joshua 8
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.
9 Josué les fit partir, et ils allèrent se placer en embuscade entre Béthel et Aï, à l’occident d’Aï. Mais Josué passa cette nuit-là au milieu du peuple.
10 Josué se leva de bon matin, passa le peuple en revue, et marcha contre Aï, à la tête du peuple, lui et les anciens d’Israël.
11 Tous les gens de guerre qui étaient avec lui montèrent et s’approchèrent; lorsqu’ils furent arrivés en face de la ville, ils campèrent au nord d’Aï, dont ils étaient séparés par la vallée.
