Joshua 5

CHAPTER 5 Israel Circumcised at Gilgal

1 And it came to pass as [⁴heard ¹all ²the ³kings] (the kings of the Amorites who were on the other side of the Jordan by the sea, and all the kings of Phoenicia by the sea) that [³caused ⁷to dry up ¹the lord ²God ⁴the ⁵Jordan ⁶river] from before the sons of Israel in their passing over, that [²melted away ¹their thoughts], and they were struck with terror, and there was not among them [²with intellect ¹any one] because of the presence of the sons of Israel. 2 And about this time the lord said to Joshua, Make for yourself [²knives ¹flint rock], and sitting down circumcise the sons of Israel a second time! 3 And [²made ³for himself ¹Joshua ⁵knives ⁴flint rock], and he circumcised the sons of Israel upon the [²being called ¹place], Hill of Foreskins. 4 And this is the account for which Joshua circumcised all the people, the ones coming forth from Egypt. [²the male ¹All] men of war that died in the wilderness in the way of their coming forth from the land of Egypt, 5 that [⁶circumcised ⁵were ¹all ²the ³people ⁴coming forth]. And all the people being born in the wilderness, in the way of their coming forth from the land of Egypt were not circumcised. For forty years Israel paced in the wilderness. 6 Therefore [³were uncircumcised ¹most ²of them] of the ones for combat, of the ones coming forth from out of the land of Egypt, the ones resisting the commandments of the lord God; and the ones whom [²separated ¹the lord] to them, [²to not behold ¹for them] the land which the lord swore by an oath to our fathers to give to us, a land flowing milk and honey. 7 Their sons he firmed instead of these, whom Joshua circumcised. For they were uncircumcised on account of them being born along the way of uncircumcised ones. 8 And being circumcised, all the nation [²rest ¹had] at that time, sitting down in the camp until they were healed. 9 And the lord said to Joshua, In today's day I removed the scorn of Egypt from you. And he called the name of that place, Gilgal, until this day. 10 And [⁴camped ¹the ²sons ³of Israel] in Gilgal. And they observed the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, at the descent of Jericho in the plain. 11 And they ate from the grain of the land on the next day of the passover -- unleavened breads and new corn.

The Manna Fails

12 On this day [³failed ¹the ²manna], on the next day after their eating from the grain of the land, and no longer [²existed ³to the ⁴sons ⁵of Israel ¹manna]. And they gathered fruit of the place of the Phoenicians in that year. 13 And it came to pass as Joshua was in Jericho, that lifting up his eyes, he beheld a man standing before him, and his broadsword was unsheathed in his hand. And coming forward, Joshua said to him, Are you ours or of our opponents? 14 And he said to him that, I am the commander-in-chief of the force of the lord, now I have come. And Joshua fell upon his face upon the ground, and he did obeisance, and he said to him, My master what do you assign to your servant? 15 And [⁴says ¹the ²commander-in-chief ³of the lord] to Joshua, Untie your sandal from your feet! for the place upon which you stand upon it is holy. And Josua did thus.
