1 And it came to pass, when all the kings * h4428 of the Amorites * h567, which were on the side * h5676 of Jordan * h3383 westward * h3220, and all the kings * h4428 of the Canaanites * h3669, which were by the sea * h3220, heard * h8085 h8800 that the LORD * h3068 had dried up * h3001 h8689 the waters * h4325 of Jordan * h3383 from before * h6440 the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, until we were passed over * h5674 h8800, that their heart * h3824 melted * h4549 h8735, neither was there spirit * h7307 in them any more, because * h6440 of the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478.
2 At that time * h6256 the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8804 unto Joshua * h3091, Make * h6213 h8798 thee sharp * h6697 knives * h2719, and circumcise * h4135 h8798 again * h7725 h8798 the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 the second time * h8145. sharp...: or, knives of flints
3 And Joshua * h3091 made * h6213 h8799 him sharp * h6697 knives * h2719, and circumcised * h4135 h8799 the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 at the hill * h1389 of the foreskins * h6190. sharp...: or, knives of flints the hill...: or, Gibeah-haaraloth
4 And this is the cause * h1697 why Joshua * h3091 did circumcise * h4135 h8804: All the people * h5971 that came out * h3318 h8802 of Egypt * h4714, that were males * h2145, even all the men * h582 of war * h4421, died * h4191 h8804 in the wilderness * h4057 by the way * h1870, after they came out * h3318 h8800 of Egypt * h4714.
5 Now * h3588 all the people * h5971 that came out * h3318 h8802 were circumcised * h4135 h8803: but all the people * h5971 that were born * h3209 in the wilderness * h4057 by the way * h1870 as they came forth * h3318 h8800 out of Egypt * h4714, them they had not circumcised * h4135 h8804.
6 For the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 walked * h1980 h8804 forty * h705 years * h8141 in the wilderness * h4057, till all the people * h1471 that were men * h582 of war * h4421, which came out * h3318 h8802 of Egypt * h4714, were consumed * h8552 h8800, because they obeyed * h8085 h8804 not the voice * h6963 of the LORD * h3068: unto whom the LORD * h3068 sware * h7650 h8738 that he would not shew * h7200 h8687 them the land * h776, which the LORD * h3068 sware * h7650 h8738 unto their fathers * h1 that he would give * h5414 h8800 us, a land * h776 that floweth * h2100 h8802 with milk * h2461 and honey * h1706.
7 And their children * h1121, whom he raised up * h6965 h8689 in their stead, them Joshua * h3091 circumcised * h4135 h8804: for they were uncircumcised * h6189, because they had not circumcised * h4135 h8804 them by the way * h1870.
8 And it came to pass, when they had done * h8552 h8804 circumcising * h4135 h8736 all the people * h1471, that they abode * h3427 h8799 in their places in the camp * h4264, till they were whole * h2421 h8800. they had...: Heb. the people had made an end to be circumcised
9 And the LORD * h3068 said * h559 h8799 unto Joshua * h3091, This day * h3117 have I rolled away * h1556 h8804 the reproach * h2781 of Egypt * h4714 from off you. Wherefore the name * h8034 of the place * h4725 is called * h7121 h8799 Gilgal * h1537 unto this day * h3117. Gilgal: that is Rolling
10 And the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 encamped * h2583 h8799 in Gilgal * h1537, and kept * h6213 h8799 the passover * h6453 on the fourteenth * h702 * h6240 day * h3117 of the month * h2320 at even * h6153 in the plains * h6160 of Jericho * h3405.
11 And they did eat * h398 h8799 of the old corn * h5669 of the land * h776 on the morrow * h4283 after the passover * h6453, unleavened cakes * h4682, and parched * h7033 h8803 corn in the selfsame * h6106 day * h3117.
12 And the manna * h4478 ceased * h7673 h8799 on the morrow * h4283 after they had eaten * h398 h8800 of the old corn * h5669 of the land * h776; neither had the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 manna * h4478 any more; but they did eat * h398 h8799 of the fruit * h8393 of the land * h776 of Canaan * h3667 that year * h8141.
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua * h3091 was by Jericho * h3405, that he lifted up * h5375 h8799 his eyes * h5869 and looked * h7200 h8799, and, behold, there stood * h5975 h8802 a man * h376 over against him with his sword * h2719 drawn * h8025 h8803 in his hand * h3027: and Joshua * h3091 went * h3212 h8799 unto him, and said * h559 h8799 unto him, art thou for us, or for our adversaries * h6862?
14 And he said * h559 h8799, Nay; but as captain * h8269 of the host * h6635 of the LORD * h3068 am I now come * h935 h8804. And Joshua * h3091 fell * h5307 h8799 on his face * h6440 to the earth * h776, and did worship * h7812 h8691, and said * h559 h8799 unto him, What saith * h1696 h8764 my lord * h113 unto his servant * h5650? captain: or, prince
15 And the captain * h8269 of the LORD'S * h3068 host * h6635 said * h559 h8799 unto Joshua * h3091, Loose * h5394 h8798 thy shoe * h5275 from off thy foot * h7272; for the place * h4725 whereon thou standest * h5975 h8802 is holy * h6944. And Joshua * h3091 did * h6213 h8799 so.
