Regresaron a Josué y le dijeron: «No necesitan subir todo el pueblo; que suban unos dos o tres mil hombres y ataquen a Hai. No agotes a todo el pueblo allí, pues son pocos.»
And they returned to Joshua, and said unto him, Let not all the people go up; but let about two or three thousand men go up and smite Ai; {and} make not all the people to labour thither; for they {are but} few. {about...: Heb. about two thousand men, or, about three thousand men}
