Numbers 15:30-31
30 aBut the person who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native or a sojourner, reviles the Lord, and that person shall be cut off from among his people. 31Because he has bdespised the word of the Lord and has broken his commandment, that person shall be utterly cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.”Joshua 5:2-12
2At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make cflint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.” 3So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth. ▼▼ Gibeath-haaraloth means the hill of the foreskins
4And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: eall the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way after they had come out of Egypt. 5Though all the people who came out had been circumcised, yet all the people who were born on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt had not been circumcised. 6For the people of Israel walked fforty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord; the Lord gswore to them that he would not let them see the land that the Lord had sworn to their fathers to give to us, ha land flowing with milk and honey. 7So it was itheir children, whom he raised up in their place, that Joshua circumcised. For they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way. 8When the circumcising of the whole nation was finished, they remained in their places in the camp until they were healed. 9And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the jreproach of Egypt from you.” And so the name of that place is called kGilgal ▼
▼ Gilgal sounds like the Hebrew for to roll
to this day. First Passover in Canaan
10While the people of Israel were encamped at Gilgal, they kept the Passover mon the fourteenth day of the month in the evening on the plains of Jericho. 11And the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. 12And nthe manna ceased the day after they ate of the produce of the land. And there was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
