Joshua 8:4 in Context — Joshua 8
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.
6 E eles sairão atrás de nós, até que os tiremos da cidade; porque eles dirão: Fogem de nós como a primeira vez. Fugiremos, pois, diante deles.
