Dual Panel1When <01961> all <03605> the Amorite <0567> kings <04428> on the west <03220> side <05676> of the Jordan <03383> and all <03605> the Canaanite <03669> kings <04428> along <05921> the seacoast <03220> heard <08085> how <0834> the Lord <03068> had dried up <03001> the water <04325> of the Jordan <03383> before <06440> the Israelites <03478> <01121> while <05704> they crossed <05674>, they lost <03824> <04549> their courage <03824> <04549> and could not <03808> even breathe <07307> for fear of the Israelites <03478> <01121>.
2At that <01931> time <06256> the Lord <03068> told <0559> Joshua <03091>, “Make <06213> flint <06697> knives <02719> and circumcise <04135> the Israelites <03478> <01121> once again <08145>.”
3So Joshua <03091> made <06213> flint <06697> knives <02719> and circumcised <04135> the Israelites <03478> <01121> on <0413> the Hill <01389> of the Foreskins <06190>.
4This <02088> is why Joshua <03091> had to circumcise <04135> them: All <03605> the men <0582> old enough to fight <04421> when they left <03318> Egypt <04714> died <04191> on the journey <01870> through the desert <04057> after they left <03318> Egypt <04714>.
5Now <03588> all <03605> the men <05971> who left <03318> were <01961> circumcised <04135>, but all <03605> the sons <05971> born <03209> on the journey <01870> through the desert <04057> after they left <03318> Egypt <04714> were uncircumcised <04135> <03808>.
6Indeed <03588>, for forty <0705> years <08141> the Israelites <03478> <01121> traveled <01980> through the desert <04057> until <05704> all <03605> the men <0376> old enough to fight <04421> when they left <03318> Egypt <04714>, the ones who <0834> had disobeyed <06963> <08085> <03808> the Lord <03068>, died <08552> off. For the Lord <03068> had <0834> sworn <07650> a solemn oath to them that he would not <01115> let them see <07200> the land <0776> he <03068> had sworn <07650> on oath to give <05414> them <01>, a land <0776> rich <02100> in milk <02461> and honey <01706>.
7He replaced <08478> <06965> them with their sons <01121>, whom Joshua <03091> circumcised <04135>. They were <01961> uncircumcised <06189>; their fathers had not <03808> circumcised <04135> them along the way <01870>.
8When <01961> all <03605> the men <01471> had been circumcised <04135>, they stayed <03427> there <08478> in the camp <04264> until <05704> they had healed <02421>.
9The Lord <03068> said <0559> to <0413> Joshua <03091>, “Today <03117> I have taken away <01556> the disgrace <02781> of Egypt <04714> from you.” So that place <04725> is called <08034> <07121> Gilgal <01537> even to <05704> this <02088> day <03117>.
10So the Israelites <03478> <01121> camped <02583> in Gilgal <01537> and celebrated <06213> the Passover <06453> in the evening <06153> of the fourteenth <06240> <0702> day <03117> of the month <02320> on the plains <06160> of Jericho <03405>.
11They ate <0398> some of the produce <05669> of the land <0776> the day after <04283> the Passover <06453>, including unleavened bread <04682> and roasted <07033> grain.
12The manna <04478> stopped appearing <07673> the day <04283> they ate <0398> some of the produce <05669> of the land <0776>; the Israelites <03478> <01121> never <03808> ate <0398> manna <04478> again <05750>.
13When <01961> Joshua <03091> was <01961> near Jericho <03405>, he looked up <05375> and saw <07200> a man <0376> standing <05975> in front of <05048> him holding <03027> a drawn <08025> sword <02719>. Joshua <03091> approached <01980> him and asked <0559> him, “Are you <0859> on our side or <0518> allied with our enemies <06862>?”
14He answered <0559>, “Truly <03588> I <0589> am the commander <08269> of the Lord’s <03068> army <06635>. Now <06258> I have arrived <0935>!” Joshua <03091> bowed down <05307> with <0413> his face <06440> to the ground <0776> and asked <0559>, “What <04100> does my master <0136> want to say <01696> to <0413> his servant <05650>?”
15The commander <08269> of the Lord’s <03068> army <06635> answered <0559> Joshua <03091>, “Remove <05394> your sandals <05275> from <05921> your feet <07272>, because <03588> the place <04725> where <05921> <0834> you <0859> stand <05975> is holy <06944>.” Joshua <03091> did <06213> so <03651>.
