Joshua 8:17New Messianic Version BibleAnd there was not a man left in ‘Ai [Heap of Ruins] or Beit-El [House of God], that went not out after Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and they left the city open, and pursued after Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]. See the chapter |
For it was of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to harden their hearts, that they should come against Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, [and] that they might have no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) commanded Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters].
And the children of Binyamin [Son of the Right Hand/Strength] went out against the people, [and] were drawn away from the city; and they began to strike of the people, [and] kill, as at other times, in the highways, of which one goes up to the house of God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], and the other to Giv’ah [Hill] in the field, about thirty men of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
