Commentary
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary**28. Joshua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for ever--**"For ever" often signifies "a long time" (Ge 6:3). One of the remarkable things with regard to the tell we have identified with Ai is its name--the tell of the heap of stones--a name which to this day remains [Van De Velde].
