And Joshua rose up early in the morning, and numbered the people, etc.] To see if there were any wanting, and to put them in proper order for their march: and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai; these elders were either the seventy elders who went with Joshua as council to him; or it may be rather they were inferior officers, who went at the head of their respective corps under them.
