Yosua 8:24-25

8:24 When Israel had finished killing all the men ¹  of Ai who had chased them toward the desert ²  (they all fell by the sword), ³  all Israel returned to Ai and put the sword to it. 8:25 Twelve thousand men and women died ⁴  that day, including all the men of Ai.

[8:24]  ¹ tn Heb “residents.”

[8:24]  ² tn Heb “in the field, in the desert in which they chased them.”

[8:24]  ³ tc Heb “and all of them fell by the edge of the sword until they were destroyed.” The LXX omits the words, “and all of them fell by the edge of the sword.” They may represent a later scribal addition.

[8:25]  ⁴ tn Heb “fell.”
