5:1 As
soon
as
all
the
kings
of
the
Amorites
who
were
beyond
the
Jordan
to
the
west,
and
all
the
kings
of
the
Canaanites
who
were
by
the
sea,
heard
that
the
LORD
had
dried
up
the
waters
of
the
Jordan
for
the
people
of
Israel
until
they
had
crossed
over,
their
hearts
melted
and
there
was
no
longer
any
spirit
in
them
because
of
the
people
of
Israel.
5:2 At
that
time
the
LORD
said
to
Joshua,
"Make
flint
knives
and
circumcise
the
sons
of
Israel
a
second
time."
5:3 So
Joshua
made
flint
knives
and
circumcised
the
sons
of
Israel
at
Gibeath-haaraloth.
5:4 And
this
is
the
reason
why
Joshua
circumcised
them:
all
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.
5:5 Though
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.
5:6 For
the
people
of
Israel
walked
forty
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
swore
to
them
that
he
would
not
let
them
see
the
land
that
the
LORD
had
sworn
to
their
fathers
to
give
to
us,
a
land
flowing
with
milk
and
honey.
5:7 So
it
was
their
children,
whom
he
raised
up
in
their
place,
that
Joshua
circumcised.
For
they
were
uncircumcised,
because
they
had
not
been
circumcised
on
the
way.
5:8 When
the
circumcising
of
the
whole
nation
was
finished,
they
remained
in
their
places
in
the
camp
until
they
were
healed.
5:9 And
the
LORD
said
to
Joshua,
"Today
I
have
rolled
away
the
reproach
of
Egypt
from
you."
And
so
the
name
of
that
place
is
called
Gilgal
to
this
day.
5:10 While
the
people
of
Israel
were
encamped
at
Gilgal,
they
kept
the
Passover
on
the
fourteenth
day
of
the
month
in
the
evening
on
the
plains
of
Jericho.
5:11 And
the
day
after
the
Passover,
on
that
very
day,
they
ate
of
the
produce
of
the
land,
unleavened
cakes
and
parched
grain.
5:12 And
the
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.
5:13 When
Joshua
was
by
Jericho,
he
lifted
up
his
eyes
and
looked,
and
behold,
a
man
was
standing
before
him
with
his
drawn
sword
in
his
hand.
And
Joshua
went
to
him
and
said
to
him,
"Are
you
for
us,
or
for
our
adversaries"
5:14 And
he
said,
"No;
but
I
am
the
commander
of
the
army
of
the
LORD.
Now
I
have
come."
And
Joshua
fell
on
his
face
to
the
earth
and
worshiped
and
said
to
him,
"What
does
my
lord
say
to
his
servant"
5:15 And
the
commander
of
the
LORD's
army
said
to
Joshua,
"Take
off
your
sandals
from
your
feet,
for
the
place
where
you
are
standing
is
holy."
And
Joshua
did
so.
