3. পরে তাহারা যিহোশূয়ের নিকটে ফিরিয়া আসিয়া কহিল, সে স্থানে সকল লোক না গেলেও হয়, দুই কিম্বা তিন সহস্র লোক উঠিয়া গিয়া অয় পরাজয় করুক; সে স্থানে সকল লোক কষ্ট না করিলেও হয়, কেননা তথাকার লোক অল্প।

3. এদিকে যিহোশূয় যিরীহো থেকে সেই অয় নগরে লোক পাঠালেন, যেটি বেথেলের পূর্বদিকে বেথ-আবনের কাছে অবস্থিত ছিল, এবং তাদের বললেন, “তোমরা উঠে যাও ও ওই অঞ্চলটি গোপনে পর্যবেক্ষণ করো।” তাই সেই লোকেরা উঠে গেল ও গোপনে অয় নগরটি পর্যবেক্ষণ করল। যিহোশূয়ের কাছে ফিরে এসে তারা বলল, “অয়ের বিরুদ্ধে সমগ্র সৈন্যদল যাওয়ার প্রয়োজন নেই। সেটি অধিকার করার জন্য 2,000 বা 3,000 লোক পাঠান এবং সমগ্র সৈন্যদলকে কষ্ট দেবেন না, কারণ সেখানে মাত্র অল্প কিছু লোকই বসবাস করে।”
