Joshua 8:26

26 Iosue vero non contraxit manum quam in sublime porrexerat tenens clypeum donec interficerentur omnes habitatores Ahi

Joshua 8:26 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 8:26

For Joshua drew not his hand back wherewith he stretched out
his spear
But continued it, and that stretched out:

until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai;
just as the hand of Moses was held up, and kept held up until Amalek was discomfited by Joshua, ( Exodus 17:12 Exodus 17:13 ) .

Joshua 8:26 In-Context

24 igitur omnibus interfectis qui Israhelem ad deserta tendentem fuerant persecuti et in eodem loco gladio corruentibus reversi filii Israhel percusserunt civitatem

25 erant autem qui in eo die conciderant a viro usque ad mulierem duodecim milia hominum omnes urbis Ahi

26 Iosue vero non contraxit manum quam in sublime porrexerat tenens clypeum donec interficerentur omnes habitatores Ahi

27 iumenta autem et praedam civitatis diviserunt sibi filii Israhel sicut praeceperat Dominus Iosue

28 qui succendit urbem et fecit eam tumulum sempiternum
