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
In the biblical narrative of the Book of Joshua, the Israelites had recently achieved a miraculous victory at Jericho, where God caused the walls to fall, allowing them to conquer the city. However, when they moved to attack the smaller city of Ai, they were unexpectedly defeated because of Achan's secret sin of taking forbidden items from Jericho, which violated God's command and led to His withdrawal of protection. This event underscores the theme of covenant faithfulness in the Israelites' conquest of the Promised Land, showing how individual disobedience affected the entire community.
