And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Beth–el, and pitched his tent, having Beth–el on the west, and Ha´i on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon the name of the Lord.
And all the people, even the people of war that were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came before the city, and pitched on the north side of A´i: now there was a valley between them and A´i.
And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
