Yehoshua sent meraglim to Ai so they can fight Ai and conquer it.

Yehoshua only sent 3000 soldiers into Ai. He thought they would be easy to defeat, look what happened he lost 36 soldiers.

We don’t want to

lose anymore soldiers

Benei yisrael didn’t know what was going on, why had they not won. They had been defeated, they could not believe it. Hashem told them it was because some items had been taken from Yericho, they knew that they were not allowed to take anything.

Who stole the gold?

I Achan have the gold, I have hidden it so lets get out of here!

I am rich

Achan was killed for being so bad.

Yay he is dead

“I have got a plan that will work,” said Yehoshua. “I am going to send thirty thousand men to wait behind Ai, then while they are waiting I will lead a smaller army to sneakily attack!”

The king brought soldiers out to attack the small army.

The army pretended to run away so no one was protecting the city.

Yehoshua raised up his javelin, so that his soldiers would know it was time to enter Ai and set it on fire. Helllpppp.

Horah, we have won the battle. We are the champions of Ai.

We have won and

conquered Ai

yay

Yay!!!
