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

8:7a

you are to rise from the ambush and seize the city,

you are to rise from the ambush: This clause indicates the next step in Joshua’s plan. First the Israelite soldiers with Joshua will lead the Ai soldiers away from the town. Then the soldiers who are hiding will attack the town.

and seize the city: The phrase seize the city indicates that the Israelites would defeat the people who remained in the town and capture it.

8:7b

for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand.

for: The word for introduces the reason for Israel’s success.

the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand: Yahweh will enable the Israelite soldiers to defeat the town. The Israelites captured the town because of the power of Yahweh, and not because of their own cleverness or strength.

deliver it into your hand: The expression deliver it into your hand is a Hebrew idiom. It means that Yahweh will help Joshua and the Israelites to defeat the king of Ai.

Here are some other ways to translate this idiom:

The Lord your God will give you the power to win. (NCV)

The Lord our God will help you capture the town. (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וּ⁠נְתָנָ֛⁠הּ יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹֽהֵי⁠כֶ֖ם בְּ⁠יֶדְ⁠כֶֽם

and,he,will_give_it YHWH God_of,your(pl) (Some words not found in UHB: and,you(pl) rise_up from,the,ambush and,you(pl)_will_take_possession_of DOM the=city and,he,will_give_it YHWH God_of,your(pl) in,hand_of,your(pl) )

See how you translated the expression “given into your hand” in [Joshua 8:1](../08/01.md). Alternate translation: [And Yahweh your God will enable you to conquer it]
