Dual Panel1Now it came<1961> about when all<3605> the kings<4428> of the Amorites<567> who<834> were beyond<5676> the Jordan<3383> to the west<3220>, and all<3605> the kings<4428> of the Canaanites<3669> who<834> were by the sea<3220>, heard<8085> how<854><834> the LORD<3068> had dried<3001> up the waters<4325> of the Jordan<3383> before<4480><6440> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> until<5704> they had crossed<5674>, that their hearts<3824> melted<4549>, and there was no<3808> spirit<7307> in them any<5750> longer<5750> because<4480><6440> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>.
2At that time<6256> the LORD<3068> said<559> to Joshua<3091>, "Make<6213> for yourself flint<6864> knives<2719> and circumcise<4135> again<7725> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> the second<8145> time<8145>."
3So Joshua<3091> made<6213> himself flint<6864> knives<2719> and circumcised<4135> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> at Gibeath-haaraloth<1389><6190>.
4This<2088> is the reason<1697> why<834> Joshua<3091> circumcised<4135> them: all<3605> the people<5971> who came<3318> out of Egypt<4714> who were males<2145>, all<3605> the men<376> of war<4421>, died<4191> in the wilderness<4057> along the way<1870> after they came<3318> out of Egypt<4714>.
5For all<3605> the people<5971> who came<3318> out were circumcised<4135>, but all<3605> the people<5971> who were born<3209> in the wilderness<4057> along the way<1870> as they came<3318> out of Egypt<4714> had not been circumcised<4135>.
6For the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> walked<1980> forty<705> years<8141> in the wilderness<4057>, until<5704> all<3605> the nation<1471>, that is, the men<376> of war<4421> who came<3318> out of Egypt<4714>, perished<8552> because<834> they did not listen<8085> to the voice<6963> of the LORD<3068>, to whom<834> the LORD<3068> had sworn<7650> that He would not let them see<7200> the land<776> which<834> the LORD<3068> had sworn<7650> to their fathers<1> to give<5414> us, a land<776> flowing<2100> with milk<2461> and honey<1706>.
7Their children<1121> whom He raised<6965> up in their place<8478>, Joshua<3091> circumcised<4135>; for they were uncircumcised<6189>, because<3588> they had not circumcised<4135> them along the way<1870>.
8Now when<3512> they had finished<8552> circumcising<4135> all<3605> the nation<1471>, they remained<3427> in their places<8478> in the camp<4264> until<5704> they were healed<2421>.
9Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to Joshua<3091>, "Today<3117> I have rolled<1556> away<1556> the reproach<2781> of Egypt<4714> from you." So the name<8034> of that place<4725> is called<7121> Gilgal<1537> to this<2088> day<3117>.
10While the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> camped<2583> at Gilgal<1537> they observed<6213> the Passover<6453> on the evening<6153> of the fourteenth<702><6240> day<3117> of the month<2320> on the desert<6160> plains<6160> of Jericho<3405>.
11On the day<4283> after<4283> the Passover<6453>, on that very<6106> day<3117>, they ate<398> some<4480> of the produce<5669> of the land<776>, unleavened<4682> cakes<4682> and parched<7033> grain.
12The manna<4478> ceased<7673> on the day<4283> after<4283> they had eaten<398> some<4480> of the produce<8393> of the land<776>, so that the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> no<3808> longer<5750> had<1961> manna<4478>, but they ate<398> some<4480> of the yield<8393> of the land<776> of Canaan<3667> during that year<8141>.
13Now it came<1961> about when Joshua<3091> was by Jericho<3405>, that he lifted<5375> up his eyes<5869> and looked<7200>, and behold<2009>, a man<376> was standing<5975> opposite<5048> him with his sword<2719> drawn<8025> in his hand<3027>, and Joshua<3091> went<1980> to him and said<559> to him, "Are you for us or<518> for our adversaries<6862>?"
14He said<559>, "No<3808>; rather<3588> I indeed<3588> come<935> now<6258> as captain<8269> of the host<6635> of the LORD<3068>." And Joshua<3091> fell<5307> on his face<6440> to the earth<776>, and bowed<7812> down<7812>, and said<559> to him, "What<4100> has my lord<136> to say<1696> to his servant<5650>?"
15The captain<8269> of the LORD'S<3068> host<6635> said<559> to Joshua<3091>, "Remove<5394> your sandals<5275> from your feet<7272>, for the place<4725> where<834><5921> you are standing<5975> is holy<6944>." And Joshua<3091> did<6213> so<3651>.
