Giosué 8:11 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 8:11

And all the people, [even the people] of war that [were] with
him, and went up, and drew nigh
To the city of Ai:

and came before the city;
as if they intended to besiege it, storm it, or force an entrance into it:

and pitched on the north side of Ai;
which was judged fittest for the purpose:

now [there was] a valley between them and Ai;
which the Rabbins call the valley of Halacah, as Jarchi says; so that they were upon a hill, at least on rising ground, and might the more easily be seen by the inhabitants of Ai, whom they wanted to draw out of their city.

Giosué 8:11 In-Context

9 Così Giosuè li mandò, e quelli andarono al luogo dell’imboscata, e si fermarono fra Bethel e Ai, a ponente d’Ai; ma Giosuè rimase quella notte in mezzo al popolo.
10 E la mattina levatosi di buon’ora, passò in rivista il popolo, e salì contro Ai: egli con gli anziani d’Israele, alla testa del popolo.
11 E tutta la gente di guerra ch’era con lui, salì, si avvicino, giunse dirimpetto alla città, e si accampò al nord di Ai. Tra lui ed Ai c’era una valle.
12 Giosuè prese circa cinquemila uomini, coi quali tese un’imboscata fra Bethel ed Ai, a ponente della città.
13 E dopo che tutto il popolo ebbe preso campo al nord della città e tesa l’imboscata a ponente della città, Giosuè, durante quella notte, si spinse avanti in mezzo alla valle.
