Joshua 5:2-12
2At that timeH6256 the LordH3068 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “MakeH6213 for yourself 1flintH6864 knivesH2719 and circumciseH4135 againH7725 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 the secondH8145 timeH8145.” 3So JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 himself flintH6864 knivesH2719 and circumcisedH4135 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 at 2Gibeath-haaralothH1389H6190. 4ThisH2088 is the reasonH1697 whyH834 JoshuaH3091 circumcisedH4135 them: 3allH3605 the peopleH5971 who cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714 who were malesH2145, allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 along the wayH1870 after they cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714. 5For allH3605 the peopleH5971 who cameH3318 outH3318 were circumcisedH4135, but allH3605 the peopleH5971 who were bornH3209 in the wildernessH4057 along the wayH1870 as they cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714 had not been circumcisedH4135. 6For the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 4fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, untilH5704 allH3605 the nationH1471, that is, the menH376 of warH4421 who cameH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, 5perishedH8552 becauseH834 they did not listenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068, 6to whomH834 the LordH3068 had swornH7650 that He would not let them seeH7200 the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 had swornH7650 to their fathersH1 to giveH5414 us, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 7So their childrenH1121 whom He raisedH6965 upH6965 inH8478 their placeH8478, JoshuaH3091 7circumcisedH4135; for they were uncircumcisedH6189, becauseH3588 they had not circumcisedH4135 them along the wayH1870.
8Now whenH3512 they had finishedH8552 circumcisingH4135 allH3605 the nationH1471, they remainedH3427 inH8478 their placesH8478 in the campH4264 untilH5704 they recoveredH2421. 9Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “TodayH3117 I have rolledH1556 awayH1556 8the shameH2781 of EgyptH4714 from you.” So the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 is calledH7121 9GilgalH1537 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
10While the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 campedH2583 at GilgalH1537 10they celebratedH6213 the PassoverH6453 on the eveningH6153 of the 11fourteenthH702H6240 dayH3117 of the monthH2320 on the desertH6160 plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405. 11Then on the dayH4283 afterH4283 the PassoverH6453, on 12that veryH6106 dayH3117, they ateH398 someH4480 of the produceH5669 of the landH776, unleavenedH4682 cakesH4682 and roastedH7033 grain. 12And 13the mannaH4478 ceasedH7673 on the dayH4283 afterH4283 they had eatenH398 someH4480 of the produceH8393 of the landH776, so that the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 noH3808 longerH5750 hadH1961 mannaH4478, but they ateH398 someH4480 of the yieldH8393 of the landH776 of CanaanH3667 during that yearH8141.
