Joshua 7:4 in Context — Joshua 7

2 E Josué enviou homens desde Jericó a Ai, que estava junto a Bete-Áven até o oriente de Betel; e falou-lhes dizendo: Subi, e reconhecei a terra. E eles subiram, e reconheceram a Ai.

3 E voltando a Josué, disseram-lhe: Não suba todo aquele povo, mas subam como dois mil ou como três mil homens, e tomarão a Ai: não canses a todo aquele povo ali, porque são poucos.

4 E subiram ali do povo como três mil homens, os quais fugiram diante dos de Ai.

5 E os de Ai feriram deles como trinta e seis homens, e seguiram-nos desde a porta até Sebarim, e os feriram na descida: pelo que se dissolveu o coração do povo, e veio a ser como água.

6 Então Josué rasgou suas roupas, e prostrou-se em terra sobre seu rosto diante da arca do SENHOR até à tarde, ele e os anciãos de Israel; e lançaram pó sobre suas cabeças.
