Joshua 8: Ai Captured and the Law Renewed

With the sin removed, the LORD sends Joshua against Ai again, and hidden troops seize and burn the town while the main army lures its defenders away. Joshua then builds an altar on Ebal, copies Moses' law on stones, and reads all of it, with its blessings and curses, to the entire assembly.
