Joshua 7:4-6

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴ So about three thousand men were sent. However, they fled from the men of Ai. ⁵ The men of Ai killed about thirty-six of them, chasing them from the city gate to the slope of the stone quarries. Israel’s troops lost heart and were scared stiff.

⁶ Joshua and the leaders of Israel tore their clothes in grief. They put dust on their heads and bowed down to the ground in front of the Lord’s ark. They stayed there until evening.
