Joshua 8:24-35 - A Review Of The Fighting
24 And it will be when Israel finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field in the desert, where they pursued them in it, and all of them will fall before the mouth of the sword till they were finished, and all Israel will turn back to Ai and will smite it by the mouth of the sword. 25 And it will be, all falling in that day from men, even to women, twelve thousand; all the men of Ai. 26 And Joshua turned not back his hand which he stretched out with the spear till he exterminated all the inhabitants of Ai. 27 Only the cattle and spoil of that city Israel plundered to themseves, according to the word of Jehovah which he commanded Joshua.
28 And Joshua will burn Ai and set it a heap forever, a waste even to this day. 29 And the king of Ai he hung upon the tree till the time of evening: and when the sun went down Joshua commanded and they will take down his carcass from the tree and cast it at the opening of the gate of the city, and they will set upon it a great heap of stones till this day.
30 Then Joshua will build an altar to Jehovah the God of Israel in mount Ebal. 31 As Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded the sons of Israel, as it was written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of stones complete; which iron was not lifted up upon them: and they will bring up upon it burnt-offerings to Jehovah, and will sacrifice peace. 32 And he will write there upon the stones the second of the law of Moses which he wrote before the sons of Israel. 33 All Israel and his old men and scribes, and his judges stood hence, and thence, to the ark before the priests the Levites, lifting up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, so the stranger as the native; half of them in front of mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded to bless the people of Israel in the beginning. 34 And after this he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all the writing in the book of the law. 35 There was not a word from all that Moses commanded which Joshua read not before all the gathering of Israel, and the women and the little ones and the stranger going in the midst of them.
