- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Dixit autem Dominus ad Josue : Ne timeas, neque formides : tolle tecum omnem multitudinem pugnatorum, et consurgens ascende in oppidum Hai. Ecce tradidi in manu tua regem ejus et populum, urbemque et terram.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς Ἰησοῦν Μὴ φοβηθῇς μηδὲ δειλιάσῃς· λάβε μετὰ σοῦ τοὺς ἄνδρας πάντας τοὺς πολεμιστάς, καὶ ἀναστὰς ἀνάβηθι εἰς Γαί. ἰδοὺ δέδωκα εἰς τὰς χεῖράς σου τὸν βασιλέα Γαὶ καὶ τὴν γῆν αὐτοῦ.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֤ה אֶל יְהוֹשֻׁ֨עַ֙ אַל תִּירָ֣א וְאַל תֵּחָ֔ת קַ֣ח עִמְּךָ֗ אֵ֚ת כָּל עַ֣ם הַמִּלְחָמָ֔ה וְק֖וּם עֲלֵ֣ה הָעָ֑י רְאֵ֣ה נָתַ֣תִּי בְיָדְךָ֗ אֶת מֶ֤לֶךְ הָעַי֙ וְאֶת עַמּ֔וֹ וְאֶת עִיר֖וֹ וְאֶת אַרְצֽוֹ
Haydock's commentary
Men. Masius and Salien (Haydock) suppose that Josue selected out of them 30,000; 5000 of whom were to be placed in ambush, and the rest were to pretend that they were terrified at the approach of the king of Hai, and to flee with Josue. But the text seems to assert that all accompanied their general, (Calmet) excepting such as were left to guard the camp. (Haydock)
