³ Then Joshua and all the men of war arose to go up against Ai. And Joshua chose out thirty thousand strong and valiant men and sent them away by night.

⁴ And he commanded them, saying, “Behold, you shall lie in wait against the city, on the back side of the city. Do not go very far from the city, but everyone be ready.

⁵ “And I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they shall come out against us, as they did the first time, then will we flee before them.
