Joshua 10:19

And stay ye not, [but] pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the LORD your God hath delivered them into your hand.

And stay {H5975} ye not, but pursue {H7291} after {H310} your enemies {H341}, and smite the hindmost {H2179} of them; suffer {H5414} them not to enter {H935} into their cities {H5892}: for the LORD {H3068} your God {H430} hath delivered {H5414} them into your hand {H3027}.

However, you, don't wait, but keep chasing your enemies, and attack those farthest in the rear. Don't allow them to return to their cities, because ADONAI has handed them over to you."

But you, do not stop there. Pursue your enemies and attack them from behind. Do not let them reach their cities, for the LORD your God has delivered them into your hand.”

but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for Jehovah your God hath delivered them into your hand.
