SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:1–29 Israel defeated Ai.

In chapter 7, Israel attacked Ai and the soldiers of Ai defeated them. They were discouraged but they repented of their sin. In chapter 8, God told Joshua to attack Ai again. This time, the Israelites were victorious and defeated Ai.

Verses 8:1–9 describe Joshua’s preparations to attack Ai, with details about the ambush. The soldiers in the ambush left by night ahead of the other soldiers. Verses 8:10–27 describe the movement of the soldiers, and the defeat of Ai. Verses 8:28–29 is a summary of the story.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The fall and destruction of Ai

Israel conquered Ai

8:15a

Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten back before them,

The Hebrew connector that the BSB leaves untranslated but many English versions translate as “And” indicates the next event in the story.

Joshua and all Israel let themselves be beaten back before them: Joshua and the Israelite soldiers pretended that the soldiers of Ai were winning the battle by running away from them.

all Israel: The phrase all Israel refers to the Israelite soldiers.

8:15b

and they fled toward the wilderness.

and they fled toward the wilderness: The word fled means “ran away.” The Israelite soldiers ran away towards the wilderness.

the wilderness: The wilderness refers to the uninhabited land east of Ai, between Ai and the Jordan River valley. Only a little vegetation grows in this area. Although some English versions use the word “desert,” this area is not sand. It is a rocky area that leads down to the Jordan River valley.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

וַ⁠יִּנָּֽגְע֛וּ יְהוֹשֻׁ֥עַ וְ⁠כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_struck Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) and=all Yisrael before,,them and,they_fled road/way_of of,the_wilderness )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, the context implies that “the men of Ai” did it. Alternate translation: [And the men of Ai struck Joshua and all of Israel]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וַ⁠יִּנָּֽגְע֛וּ יְהוֹשֻׁ֥עַ וְ⁠כָל־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל לִ⁠פְנֵי⁠הֶ֑ם

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_struck Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) and=all Yisrael before,,them and,they_fled road/way_of of,the_wilderness )

See the section discussing the word “struck” in the Introduction to Joshua and also see the section discussing the phrase “to the face of.” Alternate translation: [And Joshua and all Israel let themselves be driven back] or [And Joshua and all Israel pretended to be defeated before them]
