Joshua 8:7
"They will come out after us until we have drawn them away from the city; for they will say, ‘They flee before us, like the first time.’ So we will flee before them,"
Key Reflection
This passage describes a strategic retreat intended to lure the enemy out of the city walls. The deception is designed to create the illusion that the Israelites are fleeing in fear, much like their initial escape during the Exodus, which may have initially frightened the Egyptians. This tactic not only draws the enemy out but also reinforces the perception among the enemy that they are once again victorious, setting up a trap for them.
