King James Version
Now
when all the Amorite
kings west
of the Jordan and all the Canaanite
kings along
the coast
heard how
the LORD had dried up the waters of the
Jordan before the Israelites
until they
had
crossed
over, their hearts
melted and
their
spirits
failed
for
fear
of the Israelites
.
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
.
At that time the LORD said to
Joshua, “
Make flint
knives and circumcise the sons
of Israel once
again
. ”
At that time the LORD said unto
Joshua, Make thee
sharp
knives ,
and circumcise again
the children
of Israel the
second
time
.
So
Joshua made flint
knives and circumcised the sons
of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth
.
And
Joshua made him
sharp
knives ,
and circumcised the children
of Israel at the
hill
of
the
foreskins
.
Now
this is why Joshua circumcised
them
: All those
who
came out of Egypt —
all the men of war —had
died on
the
journey
in the wilderness after they had
left
Egypt.
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.
Though
all who
had
come
out were circumcised ,
none
of
those
born in the wilderness on
the journey
from
Egypt had been
circumcised.
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.
For the Israelites
had
wandered
in the wilderness forty
years
, until
all the nation’s
men of war who
had
come
out of Egypt had
died
, since
they did
not obey
the LORD .
So
the LORD vowed
never
to
let
them see
the land He
had
sworn
to
their fathers to
give us, a land flowing
with milk and honey.
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.
And Joshua
raised up their
sons
in their place
, and
these
were
the
ones
he
circumcised .
Until
this
time
they were still
uncircumcised, since
they had not been
circumcised along
the way.
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.
And after
all the nation
had
been
circumcised
, they stayed
there
in the camp until
they were healed
.
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
.
Then
the LORD said to
Joshua, “Today
I
have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. ”
So
that
place has
been
called Gilgal to
this day.
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.
On
the evening
of the fourteenth day of the month ,
while
the
Israelites
were
camped
at Gilgal
on
the plains of Jericho ,
they
kept
the
Passover
.
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.
The day
after the Passover, on
that
very
day,
they
ate
unleavened bread
and roasted
grain
from
the
produce
of
the land
.
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
.
And the day
after they had eaten from
the produce
of the land ,
the manna ceased.
There
was
no
more manna
for
the
Israelites,
so
that
year
they began
to
eat the crops
of the land of Canaan.
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
.
Now
when Joshua was near
Jericho, he looked
up and saw
a man standing
in
front
of
him with a
drawn
sword in His hand .
Joshua approached
Him and asked
, “Are
You
for us or for our enemies
? ”
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
?
“Neither,”
He replied.
“I
have
now
come
as Commander
of the LORD’s
army
. ”
Then
Joshua fell facedown
in
reverence
and asked
Him, “
What does
my Lord have
to
say
to
His servant? ”
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?
The Commander
of the LORD’s
army
replied
, “Take
off your
sandals,
for the place where
you
are
standing
is holy. ”
And Joshua did so.
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.
