Joshua 5
- 1When all the kings of the Amorites, who were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
- 2At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make you sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
- 3And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
- 4And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people who came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
- 5Now all the people who came out were circumcised: but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
- 6For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord: the ones the Lord swore to that he would not show them the land, which the Lord swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that flows with milk and honey.
- 7And their children, who he raised up in their place, Joshua circumcised. For they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
- 8When they had done circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp, till they were whole.
- 9And the Lord said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from off you. Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.
- 10And the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening in the plains of Jericho.
- 11And they ate of the old grain of the land the next day after the passover, cakes made without yeast, and roasted grain in the very same day.
- 12And the manna stopped the next day after they had eaten of the old grain of the land. Neither had the children of Israel manna any more. But they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
- 13When Joshua was by Jericho, that he looked up and looked, and a man stood over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went to him, and said to him, Are you for us, or for our enemies?
- 14And he said, No. But as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, What says my Lord to his servant?
- 15And the captain of the Lord's host said to Joshua, Loose your shoe from off your foot. For the place on which you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.
