Joshua 8:12 in Context — Joshua 8
10 E levantando-se Josué muito de manhã, revistou ao povo, e subiu ele, com os anciãos de Israel, diante do povo contra Ai.
11 E toda a gente de guerra que com ele estava, subiu, e aproximou-se, e chegaram diante da cidade, e assentaram o campo à parte do norte de Ai: e o vale estava entre ele e Ai.
12 E tomou como cinco mil homens, e os pôs em emboscada entre Betel e Ai, à parte ocidental da cidade.
13 E o povo, todo aquele acampamento que estava à parte do norte da cidade, colocado já próximo, e sua emboscada ao ocidente da cidade, veio Josué aquela noite ao meio do vale.
14 O qual quando o rei de Ai viu, levantou-se prontamente de manhã, e saiu com a gente da cidade contra Israel, ele e todo seu povo, para combater pela planície ao tempo assinalado, não sabendo que lhe estava posta emboscada atrás da cidade.
