OET (OET-RV) When the warriors in the ambush saw that, they rushed out from their place and entered the city and captured it, and quickly set it on fire.

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

8:19a-b

Scholars disagree about whether Joshua pointed his javelin toward Ai as a signal to the men who were hiding, or as a symbol of God’s action in defeating the town. It seems likely that it served both functions. It signaled the troops to advance, and it symbolized God’s power and victory over Ai. In 8:19 the focus is on the signal to the soldiers, but 8:26 shows that the outstretched arm is also a symbol of God’s victory.

8:19a

and as soon as he did so,

and as soon as he did so: When Joshua stretched out his hand with the lance, it was a signal to the troops to attack. Some English versions make this explicit. For example:

When the Israelites who were in ambush saw this (NCV)

As soon as he did this, the men in the ambush rose quickly (NIV)

as soon as he lifted his hand, the men who had been hiding got up quickly (GNT)

8:19b

the men in ambush rose quickly from their position.

the men in ambush rose quickly from their position: This clause indicates that the soldiers who were hiding got up from their hiding places. They knew that the time had come to attack the town.

Here is another way to translate this phrase:

the men who had been hiding got up quickly (GNT)

General Comment on 8:19a-b

In some languages it is more natural to change the order of 19a and b to reflect the order in the original language. For example:

19bThe soldiers rose quickly from where they were hiding 19aas soon as Joshua stretched out his hand

8:19c

They rushed forward, entered the city, captured it,

They rushed forward, entered the city, captured it: The soldiers ran through the open gates and captured the town.

8:19d

and immediately set it on fire.

and immediately set it on fire: The soldiers quickly set fire to the houses and other things in the town.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

וְ⁠הָ⁠אוֹרֵ֡ב קָם֩ מְהֵרָ֨ה מִ⁠מְּקוֹמ֤⁠וֹ וַ⁠יָּר֨וּצוּ֙

and,the,ambush rose quickly from,place_of,its and,they_ran

The word ambush is a singular noun that refers to a group of people acting together. That is why the pronoun they is plural. If your language does not use singular nouns in this way, you could describe this ambush as a group. Alternate translation: [And the Israelite soldiers who were hiding themselves rose quickly from their place, and they ran]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hendiadys

וַֽ⁠יְמַהֲר֔וּ וַ⁠יַּצִּ֥יתוּ

and,they_hurried and,they_set_on_fire

This phrase expresses a single idea by using two words connected with and. The word hurried tells in what way the soldiers from the ambush burned the city. Alternate translation: [and they hurriedly burned]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וַ⁠יַּצִּ֥יתוּ אֶת־הָ⁠עִ֖יר בָּ⁠אֵֽשׁ

and,they_set_on_fire DOM the=city with,fire

See how you translated the same expression in [8:8](../08/08.md). Alternate translation: [and they set the city on fire]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:18-19 Israel succeeded in this second attack on Ai because this time God directed the battle.
