28. So Joshua burned Ai, and made it a heap forever, even a desolation, to this day.
29. He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until the evening, and at sundown Joshua commanded, and they took his body down from the tree, and threw it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raised a great heap of stones on it that remains to this day.
30. Then Joshua built an altar to Yahweh, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
31. as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, on which no one had lifted up any iron. They offered burnt offerings on it to Yahweh and sacrificed peace offerings.
32. He wrote there on the stones a copy of Moses’ law, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
