Joshua 8:18 in Context — Joshua 8

16 E todo aquele povo que estava em Ai se juntou para segui-los: e seguiram a Josué, sendo assim tirados da cidade.

17 E não ficou homem em Ai e Betel, que não tivesse saído atrás de Israel; e por perseguir a Israel deixaram a cidade aberta.

18 Então o SENHOR disse a Josué: Levanta a lança que tens em tua mão até Ai, porque eu a entregarei em tua mão. E Josué levantou até a cidade a lança que em sua mão tinha.

19 E levantando-se prontamente de seu lugar os que estavam na emboscada, correram logo que ele levantou sua mão, e vieram à cidade, e a tomaram, e apressaram-se a por-lhe fogo.

20 E quando os da cidade olharam atrás, observaram, e eis que a fumaça da cidade que subia ao céu, e não puderam fugir nem a uma parte nem à outra: e o povo que ia fugindo até o deserto, se voltou contra os que o seguiam.
