- 耶和華對約書亞說、不要懼怕、也不要驚惶.你起來率領一切兵丁、上艾城去.我已經把艾城的王、和他的民、他的城、並他的地、都交在你手裡。
- 你怎樣待耶利哥、和耶利哥的王、也當照樣待艾城、和艾城的王.只是城內所奪的財物、和牲畜、你們可以取為自己的掠物.你要在城後設下伏兵。
- 於是約書亞、和一切兵丁、都起來、要上艾城去.約書亞選了三萬大能的勇士、夜間打發他們前往.
- 吩咐他們說、你們要在城後埋伏.不可離城太遠、都要各自準備。
- 我與我所帶領的眾民、要向城前往.城裡的人像初次出來攻擊我們的時候、我們就在他們面前逃跑.

- Now the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear or be dismayed Take all the people of war with you and arise, go up to Ai; see, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.
- "You shall do to Ai and its king just as you did to Jericho and its king; you shall take only its spoil and its cattle as plunder for yourselves. Set an ambush for the city behind it."
- So Joshua rose with all the people of war to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose 30,000 men, valiant warriors, and sent them out at night.
- He commanded them, saying, "See, you are going to ambush the city from behind it. Do not go very far from the city, but all of you be ready.
- "Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out to meet us as at the first, we will flee before them.
