About three thousand men go up to Ai and flee before the men of Ai
아이로 올라간 삼천명쯤이 아이 사람 앞에서 도망함
Joshua 7:2–5: Joshua sends men from Jericho to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel, and speaks to them, saying, “Go up and spy out the land.” The men go up and spy out Ai. They return to Joshua and say to him, “Don’t let all the people go up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and strike Ai. Don’t make all the people to toil there, for there are only a few of them.” So about three thousand men of the people go up there, and they flee before the men of Ai. The men of Ai strike about thirty-six men of them; they chase them from before the gate even to Shebarim, and strike them at the descent. The hearts of the people melt, and become like water.
