Joshua 5
Revised Version 1895
1And it cameH1961 to passH5674, when allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the AmoritesH567, whichH834 were beyondH5676 JordanH3383 westwardH3220, and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of the CanaanitesH3669, whichH834 were by the seaH3220, heardH8085 howH834 that the LORDH3068 had driedH3001 upH3001 the watersH4325 of JordanH3383 from beforeH6440 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, untilH5704 weH834 were passedH5674 over, that their heartH3824 meltedH4549, neitherH3808 was there spiritH7307 in them anyH3605 moreH5750, becauseH5921 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 2At that time the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, MakeH6213 thee knivesH2719 of flintH6697, and circumciseH4135 againH7725 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the secondH8145 time. 3And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 him knivesH2719 of flintH6697, and circumcisedH4135 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 at the hillH1389 of the foreskinsH6190. 4And this is the causeH1697 whyH834 JoshuaH3091 didH834 circumciseH4135: allH3605 the peopleH5971 that cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, that were malesH2145, evenH4714 allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870, afterH3318 they cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714. 5For allH3605 the peopleH5971 that cameH1961 outH3318 were circumcisedH4135: but allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were bornH3209 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 as they cameH1961 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, they had notH3808 circumcisedH4135. 6For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, tillH5704 allH3605 the nationH1471, evenH5704 the menH376 of warH4421 whichH834 cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, were consumedH8552, becauseH3588 they hearkened notH3808 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068: unto whomH834 the LORDH3068 sware that he would notH3808 letH5414 them seeH7200 the landH776 whichH834 the LORDH3068 sware unto their fathersH1 that he would giveH5414 usH5414, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 7And their childrenH1121, whom he raisedH6965 upH6965 in their steadH8478, them didH3808 JoshuaH3091 circumciseH4135: for they were uncircumcisedH6189, becauseH3588 they had notH3808 circumcisedH4135 them by the wayH1870. 8And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when they had doneH1961 circumcisingH4135 allH3605 the nationH1471, that they abodeH3427 in their placesH8478 in the campH4264, tillH5704 they were wholeH3605. 9And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 have I rolledH1556 awayH1556 the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from offH5921 youH5921. Wherefore the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 GilgalH1537, unto this dayH3117. 10And the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 encampedH2583 in GilgalH1537; and they keptH6213 the passoverH6453 on the fourteenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320 at evenH853 in the plainsH6160 of JerichoH3405. 11And they didH3117 eatH398 of the old corn of the landH776 on the morrow afterH4283 the passoverH6453, unleavenedH4682 cakesH4682 and parchedH7033 corn, in the selfsame dayH3117. 12And the mannaH4478 ceased on the morrow, afterH4283 they had eatenH398 of the oldH1121 corn of the landH776; neitherH3808 had the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 mannaH4478 anyH5750 moreH5750; but they didH3808 eatH398 of the fruit of the landH776 of CanaanH3667 that yearH8141. 13And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when JoshuaH3091 was by JerichoH3405, that he liftedH5375 upH5375 his eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and, beholdH2009, there stoodH5975 a manH376 over againstH413 him with his swordH2719 drawnH8025 in his handH3027: and JoshuaH3091 wentH413 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, Art thou for usH413, or for our adversaries? 14And he saidH559, Nay; but as captainH8269 of the hostH6635 of the LORDH3068 am I nowH6258 comeH935. And JoshuaH3091 fellH5307 on his faceH6440 to the earthH776, and didH4100 worshipH7812, and saidH559 unto him, WhatH4100 saith my lordH3068 unto his servantH5650? 15And the captainH8269 of the LORD’SH3068 hostH6635 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Put offH5921 thy shoeH5275 from offH5921 thy footH7272; for the placeH4725 whereon thou standest is holyH6944. And JoshuaH3091 didH6213 soH3651.
