And when they had set the people, [even] all the host that [was] on the north of the city, and their liers in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
And when they had set {H7760} the people {H5971}, even all the host {H4264} that was on the north {H6828} of the city {H5892}, and their liers in wait {H6119} on the west {H3220} of the city {H5892}, Joshua {H3091} went {H3212} that night {H3915} into the midst {H8432} of the valley {H6010}.
Thus the people arrayed themselves, with all the army to the north of the city, and their rearguard lying in wait to the west of the city. Y'hoshua spent that night in the valley.
So the forces were stationed with the main camp to the north of the city and the rear guard to the west of the city. And that night Joshua went into the valley.
So they set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers-in-wait that were on the west of the city; and Joshua went that night into the midst of the valley.
