By Kayla Peters

Yehoshua sent meraglim to Ai to see how they should act to conquer it .The spies came back saying that there are not many people there.

There are not many

people there

Yehoshua sent 3000 soldiers into Ai because he thought it would be easy to defeat them . The people in Ai attacked and they lost about 36 soldiers.

Hashem told them why they had been defeated. It was because someone had taken some valuable items when Hashem told them not to take anything!!

Why did I do this?

Yehoshua thought of a clever plan he sent 3000 men to wait behind Ai.

The king took his soldiers to attack Yehoshua’s army.

Attack !

Yehoshua’s army pretended to run away so that the king would chase them. Then no one would be protecting the city.

Lets run !

B’nei Yisrael won the battle and conquered Ai.

Soldiers are you ready

Yehoshua’s army pretended to run away so that the king would chase them. Then no one would be protecting the city.

The End
