Joshua 7:3-5

Tree of Life Version

³ When they returned to Joshua, they reported to him: “Let not all the people go up—only about two or three thousand men need go up and strike Ai, so don’t wear out all the people there, for they are just a few.” ⁴ So about 3,000 men from the people went up there, but they fled before the men of Ai. ⁵ The men of Ai struck down about 36 of their men, and they chased them from outside the gate as far as Shebarim,^[a] striking them down on the slope. So the hearts of the people melted and became like water.
