1And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
2At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.sharp *: or, knives of flints
3And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.sharp *: or, knives of flintsthe hill *: or, Gibeah-haaraloth
4And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
6For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
8And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.they had *: Heb. the people had made an end to be circumcised
9And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.Gilgal: that is Rolling
10And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
11And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.
12And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13Dan terjadilah, ketika Yosua berada di samping Yerikho, bahawa dia melayangkan pandangannya untuk melihat, dan lihatlah, ada berdiri di sana seorang lelaki bertentangannya dengan pedangnya terhunus di tangannya: dan Yosua pergi kepadanya, dan berkata kepadanya, Adakah kamu berpihak kepada kami, atau kepada musuh-musuh kami?
14Dan orang itu berkata, Tidak; tetapi sebagai ketua bala tentera TUHAN aku sekarang datang. Dan Yosua rebah dengan mukanya ke tanah, dan bersembahyang, dan berkata kepadanya, Apakah yang disebut tuanku kepada hambanya?
15Dan ketua bala tentera TUHAN berkata kepada Yosua, Tanggalkanlah kasutmu daripada kakimu; sebab tempat yang kamu berdiri itu adalah kudus. Dan Yosua berbuat demikian.
