28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it aa heap forever, a desolation to this day.
29 aAnd the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening. bAnd as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded that they should take his corpse down from the tree, cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and craise over it a great heap of stones that remains to this day.
Joshua Renews the Covenant
30 Now Joshua built an altar to the Lord God of Israel ain Mount Ebal,
31 as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: a“an altar of whole stones over which no man has wielded an iron tool.” And bthey offered on it burnt offerings to the Lord, and sacrificed peace offerings.
32 And there, in the presence of the children of Israel, ahe wrote on the stones a copy of the law of Moses, which he had written.
