Josué 8:8 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 8:8

And it shall be, when ye have taken the city
Entered it and become masters of it:

[that] ye shall set the city on fire;
not the whole city, only some outlying houses of it, to make a smoke which might be seen both by Israel and the men of Ai, for different purposes; for the spoil of the city was first to be taken before it was utterly burnt with fire:

according to the commandment of the Lord shall ye do;
plunder the city, destroy the inhabitants of it, and then burn it:

see I have commanded you;
delivered the command of the Lord unto them, and therefore were left without excuse, and could not plead ignorance; besides, he was their general, and he expected his orders to be obeyed, as they ought to have been.

Josué 8:8 In-Context

6 Eles nos perseguirĂŁo atĂ© que os tenhamos atraĂ­do para longe da cidade, pois dirĂŁo: ‘EstĂŁo fugindo de nĂłs como fizeram antes’. Quando estivermos fugindo,
7 vocĂȘs sairĂŁo da emboscada e tomarĂŁo a cidade. O SENHOR, o seu Deus, a entregarĂĄ em suas mĂŁos.
8 Depois que tomarem a cidade, vocĂȘs a incendiarĂŁo. Façam o que o SENHOR ordenou. Atentem bem para as minhas instruçÔes”.
9 Então Josué os enviou. Eles foram e ficaram de emboscada entre Betel e Ai, a oeste de Ai. Josué, porém, passou aquela noite com o povo.
10 Na manhã seguinte Josué passou em revista os homens, e ele e os líderes de Israel partiram à frente deles para atacar a cidade.
