The inhabitants of Ai destroyed, and Ai burned and made a heap forever

아이 거민을 진멸하고 아이를 불살라 영원한 무더기를 만듦

Joshua 8:24–29: when Israel has finished killing all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness in which they pursued them, and they have all fallen by the edge of the sword until they are consumed, all Israel returns to Ai and strikes it with the edge of the sword. All that fall that day, both of men and women, are twelve thousand, even all the people of Ai. For Joshua doesn’t draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he has utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. Israel takes for themselves only the livestock and the goods of that city, according to the LORD’s word which he commanded Joshua. So Joshua burns Ai and makes it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day. He hangs the king of Ai on a tree until the evening. At sundown, Joshua commands, and they take the body down from the tree and throw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raise a great heap of stones on it that remains to this day.
