Joshua 5
5:1And it came to pass as all the kings heard (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 the lord God caused the Jordan river to dry up from before the sons of Israel in their passing over, that their thoughts melted away, and they were struck with terror, and there was not among them any one with intellect because of the presence of the sons of Israel.
5:2And about this time the lord said to Joshua, Make for yourself flint rock knives, and sitting down circumcise the sons of Israel a second time!
5:3And Joshua made for himself flint rock knives, and he circumcised the sons of Israel upon the place being called, Hill of Foreskins.
5:4And this is the account for which Joshua circumcised all the people, the ones coming forth from Egypt. All the male men of war that died in the wilderness in the way of their coming forth from the land of Egypt,
5:5that all the people coming forth were circumcised. 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.
5:6Therefore most of them were uncircumcised 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 the lord separated to them, for them to not behold the land which the lord swore by an oath to our fathers to give to us, a land flowing milk and honey.
5:7Their 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.
5:8And being circumcised, all the nation had rest at that time, sitting down in the camp until they were healed.
5:9And 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.
5:10And the sons of Israel camped in Gilgal. And they observed the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, at the descent of Jericho in the plain.
5:11And they ate from the grain of the land on the next day of the passover -- unleavened breads and new corn.
5:12On this day the manna failed, on the next day after their eating from the grain of the land, and no longer manna existed to the sons of Israel. And they gathered fruit of the place of the Phoenicians in that year.
5:13And 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?
5:14And 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?
5:15And the commander-in-chief of the lord says to Joshua, Untie your sandal from your feet! for the place upon which you stand upon it is holy. And Josua did thus.
