Joshua 8:5 in Context — Joshua 8

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.

7 Então vós vos levantareis da emboscada, e vos lançareis sobre a cidade; pois o SENHOR vosso Deus a entregará em vossas mãos.
