Joshua 8:13
King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible
And when they had set the people, even all the host that was on the north of the city, and their liers (note: Heb. their lying in wait) in wait on the west of the city, Joshua went that night into the midst of 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.
