and you shall rise up from the ambush, and take possession of the city: for Yahweh your God will deliver it into your hand.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

Joshua arose up early in the morning, and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

He took about five thousand men, and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

אוֹתָ֜ם (אוֹתָ֜) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

So they set the people, even all the host who was on the north of the city, and their liers-in-wait who were on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”וְאֶת־ (אֶת) 'Et “<obj.>”

There was not a man left in Ai or Beth El, who didn't go out after Israel: and they left the city open, and pursued after Israel.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The ambush arose quickly out of their place, and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and entered into the city, and took it; and they hurried and set the city on fire.

When Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city, and that the smoke of the city ascended, then they turned again, and killed the men of Ai.

It happened, when Israel had made an end of killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned to Ai, and struck it with the edge of the sword.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”אֹתָ֖הּ (אֹתָ֖) 'o.Ta “<obj.>”

For Joshua didn't draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

So Joshua burnt Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.

אֶת־ 'et- “<obj.>”

The king of Ai he hanged on a tree until the evening: and at the going down of the sun Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised thereon a great heap of stones, to this day.

as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, on which no man had lifted up any iron: and they offered thereon burnt offerings to Yahweh, and sacrificed peace-offerings.

אֵת֩ 'et “<obj.>”

They said to him, From a very far country your servants are come because of the name of Yahweh your God: for we have heard the fame of him, and all that he did in Egypt,

וְאֵ֛ת (אֵ֛ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

and all that he did to the two kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who was at Ashtaroth.

וְאֵ֣ת׀ (אֵ֣ת) 'Et “<obj.>”

This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we came forth to go to you; but now, behold, it is dry, and is become moldy:
