The first sentence in this verse is a summary statement for 8:3–12. Use a natural form in your language for a summary statement at the end of one section of a story. Be sure that it is clear that this is a summary and not a description of a further action.

וְאֶת־עֲקֵב֖וֹ מִיָּ֣ם לָעִ֑יר
and=DOM rear_guard,its to,west of_the,city
The author is speaking of the Israelite army as if it were a foot and the soldiers who hid west of Ai as its heel. He means that those soldiers were at the edge of the force. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and the Israelite soldiers who had separated from the main force and hidden on the west side of the city”
8:1-13 The first attempt to conquer Ai had been done without consulting God; the second attempt would be made at God’s command and direction. Before the second attempt, God spoke to Joshua again and gave him a strategy. More importantly, in light of Israel’s recent disaster, God gave him encouragement and a promise.
