And the men of Ai smote of them about thirty and six men: for they chased them from before the gate even unto Shebarim, and smote them in the going down: wherefore the hearts of the people melted, and became as water.
Los hombres de Hai mataron como treinta y seis de ellos, persiguiéndolos desde la puerta de la ciudad hasta Sebarim, y los hirieron mientras huían cuesta abajo. Por esto, el corazón del pueblo se desalentó y se volvió como agua.
La derrota ante Hai causó que el pueblo de Israel perdiera completamente su valor y confianza.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This defeat came immediately after Israel's great victory at Jericho, and was caused by Achan's secret disobedience in taking forbidden items from Jericho. The Israelites had expected an easy victory over the small city of Ai, but instead faced their first military defeat since entering the Promised Land. This shocking loss revealed that God's blessing had been withdrawn due to hidden sin in the camp.
