Joshua 5

1And it came to passH5674, when all the kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, that were beyond the JordanH3383 westward, and all the kingsH4428 of the CanaanitesH3669, that were by the seaH3220, heardH8085 how that Jehovah had driedH3001 up the watersH4325 of the JordanH3383 from before the children of IsraelH3478, until we were passedH5674 over, that their heartH3824 meltedH4549, neither wasH1961 there spiritH7307 in them any more, because of the children of IsraelH3478.

2At that timeH6256 Jehovah saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, MakeH6213 thee knives of flintH6697, and circumciseH4135 again the children of IsraelH3478 the secondH8145 timeH6256. 3And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 him knives of flintH6697, and circumcisedH4135 the children of IsraelH3478 at the hillH1389 of the foreskinsH6190. 4And this is the cause why JoshuaH3091 did circumciseH4135: all the peopleH5971 that cameH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, that were malesH2145, even all the menH376 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870, after they cameH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714. 5For all the peopleH5971 that came out wereH1961 circumcisedH4135; but all the peopleH5971 that wereH1961 born in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 as they came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, they had not circumcisedH4135. 6For the children of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, till all the nationH1471, even the menH376 of warH4421 that cameH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah: unto whom Jehovah sware that he would not let them seeH7200 the landH776 which Jehovah sware unto their fathersH1 that he would giveH5414 us, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 7And their children, whom he raisedH6965 up in their stead, them did JoshuaH3091 circumciseH4135: for they wereH1961 uncircumcisedH6189, because they had not circumcisedH4135 them by the wayH1870. 8And it came to pass, when they had done circumcisingH4135 all the nationH1471, that they abode in their placesH8478 in the campH4264, till they were whole. 9And Jehovah saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 have I rolledH1556 awayH1556 the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from off you. Wherefore the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 GilgalH1537, unto this dayH3117.

10And the children of IsraelH3478 encampedH2583 in GilgalH1537; and they kept the passoverH6453 on the fourteenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at even in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405. 11And they did eatH398 of the produceH5669 of the landH776 on the morrow after the passoverH6453, unleavenedH4682 cakes and parched grain, in the selfsame dayH3117. 12And the mannaH4478 ceased on the morrow, after they had eatenH398 of the produceH8393 of the landH776; neither had the children of IsraelH3478 mannaH4478 any more; but they did eatH398 of the fruit of the landH776 of CanaanH3667 that yearH8141.

13And it came to pass, when JoshuaH3091 wasH1961 by JerichoH3405, that he liftedH5375 up his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 a manH376 over against him with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and JoshuaH3091 went unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14And he saidH559, Nay; but as princeH8269 of the hostH6635 of Jehovah am I nowH6258 comeH935. And JoshuaH3091 fellH5307 on his faceH6440 to the earthH776, and did worship, and saidH559 unto him, What saith my lord unto his servantH5650? 15And the princeH8269 of Jehovah’s hostH6635 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Put off thy shoe from off thy footH7272; for the placeH4725 whereon thou standest is holyH6944. And JoshuaH3091 did soH3651.
