JOS-5:1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites,
which [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.
JOS-5:2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp
knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second
time.
JOS-5:3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the
children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
JOS-5:4 And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All
the people that 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.
JOS-5:5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but
all the people [that were] born in the wilderness by the way as
they came forth out of Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised.
JOS-5:6 For 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 obeyed not the
voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not
show them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that
he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
JOS-5:7 And their children, [whom] he raised up in their stead,
them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because
they had not circumcised them by the way.
JOS-5:8 And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all
the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till
they were whole.
JOS-5:9 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled
away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of
the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
JOS-5:10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept
the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the
plains of Jericho.
JOS-5:11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the
morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched [corn]
in the selfsame day.
JOS-5:12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten
of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel
manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of
Canaan that year.
JOS-5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that
he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man
over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua
went unto him, and said unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our
adversaries?
JOS-5:14 And he said, Nay; but [as] captain of the host of the
LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth,
and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his
servant?
JOS-5:15 And the captain of the LORD'S host said unto Joshua,
Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou
standest [is] holy. And Joshua did so.
