26For Joshua did not take back his hand with the outstretched spear till the destruction of the people of Ai was complete.
27But the cattle and the goods from that town, Israel took for themselves, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua.
28So Joshua gave Ai to the flames, and made it a waste mass of stones for ever, as it is to this day.
29And he put the king of Ai to death, hanging him on a tree till evening: and when the sun went down, Joshua gave them orders to take his body down from the tree, and put it in the public place of the town, covering it with a great mass of stones, which is there to this day.
30Then Joshua put up an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,
31In the way ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, as it is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, untouched by any iron instrument: and on it they made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.
32And he made there on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, writing it before the eyes of the children of Israel.
