Show Verse Quote Highlights
Context — The Conquest of Ai
4with these orders: “Pay attention. You are to lie in ambush behind the city, not too far from it. All of you must be ready.
5Then I and all the troops with me will advance on the city. When they come out against us as they did the first time, we will flee from them.
6They will pursue us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, ‘The Israelites are running away from us as they did before.’ So as we flee from them,
7you are to rise from the ambush and seize the city, for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand. 8And when you have taken the city, set it on fire. Do as the LORD has commanded! See, I have given you orders.”Cross References

Joshua 8:6 Summary
[Joshua 8:6 is a verse that shows how the Israelites were using a clever strategy to defeat their enemies, by pretending to flee from them, just like they did before, as seen in Joshua 8:5. This plan was to give the ambush team an opportunity to seize the city, as stated in Joshua 8:7, and it required the Israelites to trust in the Lord's power and promises, as seen in Joshua 8:1 and Psalm 20:7. The Israelites were trusting in the Lord's sovereignty, just like we are called to do in Proverbs 3:5-6, and they were using their intelligence and strategic thinking to outmaneuver their enemies, as seen in Joshua 8:2. By trusting in God's power and promises, we can have faith that He will deliver us, just like He delivered the Israelites, and we can use our own gifts and abilities to serve the Lord and further His kingdom.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the strategy that Joshua and the Israelites are using to defeat their enemies in Joshua 8:6?
The Israelites are using a clever tactic of pretending to flee from their enemies, just as they did before, in order to lure them away from the city, as seen in Joshua 8:6 and also in Joshua 8:5. This plan is to give the ambush team an opportunity to seize the city, as stated in Joshua 8:7.
Why do the Israelites think their enemies will fall for this trick again?
The Israelites believe their enemies will fall for this trick again because they think the Israelites are repeating their previous actions, as mentioned in Joshua 8:6, where it says 'as they did before'. This shows that the Israelites are using the element of predictability to their advantage, much like the tactic used in Joshua 8:2, where the Lord gave instructions on how to take the city of Ai.
What role does faith play in this strategy?
Faith plays a significant role in this strategy, as the Israelites are trusting in the Lord's plan and promises, as seen in Joshua 8:1, where the Lord says 'Do not be afraid or discouraged' and in Joshua 8:7, where it says 'for the LORD your God will deliver it into your hand'. The Israelites are demonstrating their faith by following the Lord's instructions and trusting in His power to deliver them, similar to the faith exhibited by the Israelites in Exodus 14:13-14, where they trusted in the Lord's deliverance from the Egyptians.
What can we learn from this verse about God's sovereignty and human planning?
This verse teaches us that God's sovereignty and human planning are not mutually exclusive, but rather, they work together, as seen in Proverbs 3:5-6, where it says to 'trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding'. The Israelites are using their intelligence and strategic thinking to outmaneuver their enemies, but they are also trusting in the Lord's power and promises to deliver them, as stated in Psalm 20:7, where it says 'Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God'.
Reflection Questions
- How can I apply the principle of trusting in God's power and promises, as seen in Joshua 8:6, to my own life and circumstances, and what does this mean for my faith?
- What are some areas in my life where I need to have faith and trust in God's sovereignty, just like the Israelites did in Joshua 8:6, and how can I demonstrate this faith?
- How can I use my own gifts and abilities to serve the Lord and further His kingdom, as the Israelites used their military strategy to defeat their enemies, and what does this mean for my role in God's plan?
- What are some ways that I can 'lure' people to the Lord, just as the Israelites lured their enemies away from the city, and how can I share the Gospel with others in a way that is both clever and compassionate?
