Israeli soldier keeps 200 shekels silver and 50 shekels gold from the victory at Jericho.
His name is Achan of the tribe of Judah.
Israel chooses 2 to 3000 soldier to conquer the city of Ai.
After Jericho, they are confident they will prevail.
of 3000, about 36 are killed.
about 36 killed?
2 or 3 always represents Jesus (Hosea 6:2, amos 4:8 (any bible but NIV), Matt. 18:16,20)
Jesus died in his 36th year at 35.7 or 35.8 years.
his 37th birthday would have been in the summer between Pentecost (the 64th day of the year, 14th day is Passover which is the day Jesus was killed plus 50 days is Pentecost )and The day of Repentance which is the 181st day of the year (the 7thmonth, the first day. ( On his first birth day he was zero years gold (pun)

Joshua sees the defeat at Ai,figures out it's Achan's fault then kills Achan and his family.
Joshua choses 30,000 Israelis.
5000 wait to ambush while the 30,000 - 5000 fake a retreat.
God fake defeat by allowing his Son to die.
50 days later is Pentecost holySpirit.
Showing the number 25 is for someone who thinks they knowmore than God, the 25,000 are not numbered
like Achan or Korah's 250 men Numbers 16 or the 25,000 of Benjamin in Judges 19-21 (Judges 20:35, 25,100 of Benjamin).
Judges 19-21.
A Levite throws his concubine (female companion) to angry wolves who kill her.
Israel is up in arms but the tribe of Benjamin protects the wolves.
400,000 of the 11 tribes fight Benjamin.
After 2 days, Israel as lost 40,000 but have 360,000 soldiers.
On the third day, Judah leads the battle. They fake a retreat.
Benjamin kills about 30. Jesus started his ministry at about age 30 Luke 3:23. Probably 32.5 years. He ministered for 3.2 years or so.
Israel kills 25,000 of Benjamin Judges 20:46
600 escape.
Israel has decided to not allow any of their daughters to marry men from Benjamin.
12,000 of Israel kill the people of Jabesh-gilead who refused to fight against Benjamin.
They take 400 female virgins for wives for 400 of the 600.
200 are allowed to steal female virgins for their wives.
In the story, women represent true religion.
The Levite's concubine grew up in Bethlehem but was thrown to the wolves
There are 4000 years before Christ and there will probably be 2000 years after His death when he will return.
The remaining 200 are allowed to kidnap female virgins for marriage.

12,000 men and 12,000 women of Ai are killed by Israel. Their king is hung on a tree until evening then buried under a pile of rock. Jesus was put in a tomb hewn from rock. His body was taken down from the cross before evening because of the Sabbath when there is not work allowed.
