Joshua 8:3 in Context — Joshua 8

1 E o SENHOR disse a Josué: Não temas, nem desmaies; toma contigo toda a gente de guerra, e levanta-te e sobe a Ai. Olha, eu entreguei em tua mão ao rei de Ai, e a seu povo, a sua cidade, e a sua terra.

2 E farás a Ai e a seu rei como fizeste a Jericó e a seu rei: somente que seus despojos e seus animais tomareis para vós. Porás, pois, emboscadas à cidade detrás dela.

3 E levantou-se Josué, e toda a gente de guerra, para subir contra Ai: e escolheu Josué trinta mil homens fortes, os quais enviou de noite.

4 E mandou-lhes, dizendo: Olhai, poreis emboscada à cidade detrás dela: não vos afastareis muito da cidade, e estareis todos prontos.

5 E eu, e todo aquele povo que está comigo, nos aproximaremos da cidade; e quando saírem eles contra nós, como fizeram antes, fugiremos diante deles.
