¹ H4428 And it came to pass, when all the kings H567 of the Amorites H5676 , which were on the side H3383 of Jordan H3220 westward H4428 , and all the kings H3669 of the Canaanites H3220 , which were by the sea H8085 , heard [H8800]   H3068 that the LORD H3001 had dried up [H8689]   H4325 the waters H3383 of Jordan H6440 from before H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H5674 , until we were passed over [H8800]   H3824 , that their heart H4549 melted [H8735]   H7307 , neither was there spirit H6440 in them any more, because H1121 of the children H3478 of Israel.

² H6256 At that time H3068 the LORD H559 said [H8804]   H3091 unto Joshua H6213 , Make [H8798]   H6697 thee sharp H2719 knives H4135 , and circumcise [H8798]   H7725 again [H8798]   H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H8145 the second time.

³ H3091 And Joshua H6213 made [H8799]   H6697 him sharp H2719 knives H4135 , and circumcised [H8799]   H1121 the children H3478 of Israel H1389 at the hill H6190 of the foreskins.

⁴ H1697 And this is the cause H3091 why Joshua H4135 did circumcise [H8804]   H5971 : All the people H3318 that came out [H8802]   H4714 of Egypt H2145 , that were males H582 , even all the men H4421 of war H4191 , died [H8804]   H4057 in the wilderness H1870 by the way H3318 , after they came out [H8800]   H4714 of Egypt.

⁵ H3588 Now H5971 all the people H3318 that came out [H8802]   H4135 were circumcised [H8803]   H5971 : but all the people H3209 that were born H4057 in the wilderness H1870 by the way H3318 as they came forth [H8800]   H4714 out of Egypt H4135 , them they had not circumcised [H8804]  .

⁶ H1121 For the children H3478 of Israel H1980 walked [H8804]   H705 forty H8141 years H4057 in the wilderness H1471 , till all the people H582 that were men H4421 of war H3318 , which came out [H8802]   H4714 of Egypt H8552 , were consumed [H8800]   H8085 , because they obeyed [H8804]   H6963 not the voice H3068 of the LORD H3068 : unto whom the LORD H7650 sware [H8738]   H7200 that he would not shew [H8687]   H776 them the land H3068 , which the LORD H7650 sware [H8738]   H1 unto their fathers H5414 that he would give [H8800]   H776 us, a land H2100 that floweth [H8802]   H2461 with milk H1706 and honey.

⁷ H1121 And their children H6965 , whom he raised up [H8689]   H3091 in their stead, them Joshua H4135 circumcised [H8804]   H6189 : for they were uncircumcised H4135 , because they had not circumcised [H8804]   H1870 them by the way.

⁸ H8552 And it came to pass, when they had done [H8804]   H4135 circumcising [H8736]   H1471 all the people H3427 , that they abode [H8799]   H4264 in their places in the camp H2421 , till they were whole [H8800]  .

⁹ H3068 And the LORD H559 said [H8799]   H3091 unto Joshua H3117 , This day H1556 have I rolled away [H8804]   H2781 the reproach H4714 of Egypt H8034 from off you. Wherefore the name H4725 of the place H7121 is called [H8799]   H1537 Gilgal H3117 unto this day.

¹⁰ H1121 And the children H3478 of Israel H2583 encamped [H8799]   H1537 in Gilgal H6213 , and kept [H8799]   H6453 the passover H702 on the fourteenth H6240   H3117 day H2320 of the month H6153 at even H6160 in the plains H3405 of Jericho.

¹¹ H398 And they did eat [H8799]   H5669 of the old corn H776 of the land H4283 on the morrow H6453 after the passover H4682 , unleavened cakes H7033 , and parched [H8803]   H6106 corn in the selfsame H3117 day.

¹² H4478 And the manna H7673 ceased [H8799]   H4283 on the morrow H398 after they had eaten [H8800]   H5669 of the old corn H776 of the land H1121 ; neither had the children H3478 of Israel H4478 manna H398 any more; but they did eat [H8799]   H8393 of the fruit H776 of the land H3667 of Canaan H8141 that year.

¹³ H3091 And it came to pass, when Joshua H3405 was by Jericho H5375 , that he lifted up [H8799]   H5869 his eyes H7200 and looked [H8799]   H5975 , and, behold, there stood [H8802]   H376 a man H2719 over against him with his sword H8025 drawn [H8803]   H3027 in his hand H3091 : and Joshua H3212 went [H8799]   H559 unto him, and said [H8799]   H6862 unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

¹⁴ H559 And he said [H8799]   H8269 , Nay; but as captain H6635 of the host H3068 of the LORD H935 am I now come [H8804]   H3091 . And Joshua H5307 fell [H8799]   H6440 on his face H776 to the earth H7812 , and did worship [H8691]   H559 , and said [H8799]   H1696 unto him, What saith [H8764]   H113 my lord H5650 unto his servant?

¹⁵ H8269 And the captain H3068 of the LORD'S H6635 host H559 said [H8799]   H3091 unto Joshua H5394 , Loose [H8798]   H5275 thy shoe H7272 from off thy foot H4725 ; for the place H5975 whereon thou standest [H8802]   H6944 is holy H3091 . And Joshua H6213 did [H8799]   so.
