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}.

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}.

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}.

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}.

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)}.

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}.

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}.

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)}.

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}.

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}.

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}.

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}.

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}?

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}?

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.
