Et ceux qui étaient en embuscade se levèrent promptement du lieu où ils étaient, et ils se mirent à courir, dès qu'il eut étendu sa main; et ils entrèrent dans la ville, s'en emparèrent, et se hâtèrent d'y mettre le feu.
Aussitôt qu'il eut étendu sa main, les hommes en embuscade sortirent précipitamment du lieu où ils étaient; ils pénétrèrent dans la ville, la prirent, et se hâtèrent d'y mettre le feu.
Et ceux qui étaient en embuscade se levèrent incontinent du lieu où ils étaient; ils commencèrent à courir aussitôt que [Josué] eut étendu sa main; ils vinrent dans la ville, la prirent, et ils se hâtèrent de mettre le feu dans la ville.

Joshua 8:6-8
Reciprocal: Joshua 8:2 - lay thee Judges 20:37 - the liers in wait hasted
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the ambush arose quickly out of their place,.... As soon as the sentinels set in proper places observed the signal, and gave them notice of it, which was the stretching out of the spear, as appears by what follows:
and they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand; and the spear in his hand; from whence it is plain, that though the Lord is said to bid Joshua do this now, he had orders from him for it before and the ambush must have been made acquainted with it before they were sent away; and this was only a renewal of the order from the Lord, and which pointed out the proper time, the very crisis, when it should be stretched out:
and they entered into the city; without any difficulty, the gates being open:
and took it; took possession of it, and the strong holds in it:
and hasted and set the city on fire; that is, they made haste to set some houses on fire as the signal to the army of Israel to return.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 8:19. Set the city on fire. — Joshua 8:8.
