Joshua 5 - The Scriptures 1998

¹ And it came to be, when all the sovereigns of the Amorites who were beyond the Yardĕ

² At that time יהוה  said to Yehoshua, “Make knives of flint for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Yisra’ĕ

³ So Yehoshua made knives of flint for himself, and circumcised the sons of Yisra’ĕ

⁴ And this is why Yehoshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Mitsrayim who were males, all the men of battle, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Mitsrayim.

⁵ For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people who were born in the wilderness on the way as they came out of Mitsrayim had not been circumcised.

⁶ For the children of Yisra’ĕ

⁷ And Yehoshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

⁸ And it came to be, when they had completed circumcising all the nation, that they stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed.

⁹ And יהוה  said to Yehoshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Mitsrayim from you.” So the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

¹⁰ And the children of Yisra’ĕ

¹¹ And they ate of the stored grain of the land on the morrow after the Passover, unleavened bread and roasted grain on this same day.

¹² And the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the stored grain of the land. And the children of Yisra’ĕ

¹³ And it came to be, when Yehoshua was by Yeriḥ

¹⁴ And He said, “No, for I have now come as Captain of the host of יהוה.” And Yehoshua fell on his face to the earth and did obeisance, and said to Him, “What is my Master saying to His servant?”

¹⁵ And the Captain of the host of יהוה  said to Yehoshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is set-apart.” And Yehoshua did so.
