²⁷ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city Israel took for prey unto themselves, according unto the word of Jehovah which he commanded Joshua.

² And thou shalt do to Ai and her king as thou didst unto Jericho and her king: only the spoil thereof, and the cattle thereof, shall ye take for a prey unto yourselves: set thee an ambush for the city behind it.

²² howbeit the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the lead,

²⁶ Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the fathers' `houses' of the congregation;

⁴ And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

¹⁰ For every beast of the forest is mine, And the cattle upon a thousand hills.

¹⁵ Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?
