Joshua 5 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

Israel Is Circumcised

1 Now it came ^H1961 about ^H1961 when all ^H3605 the kings ^H4428 of the Amorites ^H567 who ^H834 were beyond ^H5676 the Jordan ^H3383 to the west ^H3220, and all ^H3605 the kings ^H4428 of the Canaanites ^H3669 who ^H834 were by the sea ^H3220, heard ^H8085 how ^H854 H834 the LORD ^H3068 had dried ^H3001 up ^H3001 the waters ^H4325 of the Jordan ^H3383 before ^H4480 H6440 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 until ^H5704 [fn]they had crossed ^H5674, that their hearts ^H3824 melted ^H4549, and there was no ^H3808 spirit ^H7307 in them any ^H5750 longer ^H5750 because ^H4480 H6440 of the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478.

2 At that time ^H6256 the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to Joshua ^H3091, “Make ^H6213 for yourself flint ^H6864 knives ^H2719 and circumcise ^H4135 again ^H7725 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 the second ^H8145 time ^H8145.”

3 So Joshua ^H3091 made ^H6213 himself flint ^H6864 knives ^H2719 and circumcised ^H4135 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 at [fn]Gibeath-haaraloth ^H1389 H6190. 4 This ^H2088 is the reason ^H1697 why ^H834 Joshua ^H3091 circumcised ^H4135 them: all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 who came ^H3318 out ^H3318 of Egypt ^H4714 who were males ^H2145, all ^H3605 the men ^H376 of war ^H4421, died ^H4191 in the wilderness ^H4057 along the way ^H1870 after they came ^H3318 out ^H3318 of Egypt ^H4714. 5 For all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 who came ^H3318 out ^H3318 were circumcised ^H4135, but all ^H3605 the people ^H5971 who were born ^H3209 in the wilderness ^H4057 along the way ^H1870 as they came ^H3318 out ^H3318 of Egypt ^H4714 had not been circumcised ^H4135. 6 For the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 walked ^H1980 forty ^H705 years ^H8141 in the wilderness ^H4057, until ^H5704 all ^H3605 the nation ^H1471, that is, the men ^H376 of war ^H4421 who came ^H3318 out ^H3318 of Egypt ^H4714, [fn]perished ^H8552 because ^H834 they did not listen ^H8085 to the voice ^H6963 of the LORD ^H3068, to whom ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 had sworn ^H7650 that He would not let them see ^H7200 the land ^H776 which ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 had sworn ^H7650 to their fathers ^H1 to give ^H5414 us, a land ^H776 flowing ^H2100 with milk ^H2461 and honey ^H1706. 7 So their children ^H1121 whom He raised ^H6965 up ^H6965 in ^H8478 their place ^H8478, Joshua ^H3091 [fn]circumcised ^H4135; for they were uncircumcised ^H6189, because ^H3588 they had not circumcised ^H4135 them along the way ^H1870.

8 Now when ^H834 they had finished ^H8552 circumcising ^H4135 all ^H3605 the nation ^H1471, they remained ^H3427 in ^H8478 their places ^H8478 in the camp ^H4264 until ^H5704 they recovered ^H2421. 9 Then the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to Joshua ^H3091, “Today ^H3117 I have rolled ^H1556 away ^H1556 the shame ^H2781 of Egypt ^H4714 from you.” So the name ^H8034 of that place ^H4725 is called ^H7121 [fn]Gilgal ^H1537 to this ^H2088 day ^H3117.

10 While the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 camped ^H2583 at Gilgal ^H1537 they celebrated ^H6213 the Passover ^H6453 on the evening ^H6153 of the fourteenth ^H702 H6240 day ^H3117 of the month ^H2320 on the desert ^H6160 plains ^H6160 of Jericho ^H3405. 11 Then on the day ^H4283 after ^H4283 the Passover ^H6453, on [fn]that very ^H6106 day ^H3117, they ate ^H398 some ^H4480 of the produce ^H5669 of the land ^H776, unleavened ^H4682 cakes ^H4682 and roasted ^H7033 grain. 12 And the manna ^H4478 ceased ^H7673 on the day ^H4283 after ^H4283 they had eaten ^H398 some ^H4480 of the produce ^H8393 of the land ^H776, so that the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 had ^H1961 manna ^H4478, but they ate ^H398 some ^H4480 of the yield ^H8393 of the land ^H776 of Canaan ^H3667 during that year ^H8141.

13 Now it came ^H1961 about ^H1961 when Joshua ^H3091 was by Jericho ^H3405, he raised ^H5375 his eyes ^H5869 and looked ^H7200, and behold ^H2009, a man ^H376 was standing ^H5975 opposite ^H5048 him with his sword ^H2719 drawn ^H8025 in his hand ^H3027, and Joshua ^H3091 went ^H1980 to him and said ^H559 to him, “Are you for us or ^H518 for our enemies ^H6862?” 14 He said ^H559, “No ^H3808; rather ^H3588 I have come ^H935 now ^H6258 as captain ^H8269 of the army ^H6635 of the LORD ^H3068.” And Joshua ^H3091 fell ^H5307 on his face ^H6440 to the ground ^H776, and bowed ^H2331 down ^H2331, and said ^H559 to him, “What ^H4100 has my lord ^H136 to say ^H1696 to his servant ^H5650?” 15 And the captain ^H8269 of the LORD’S ^H3068 army ^H6635 said ^H559 to Joshua ^H3091, “Remove ^H5394 your sandals ^H5275 from your feet ^H7272, for the place ^H4725 where ^H834 H5921 you are standing ^H5975 is holy ^H6944.” And Joshua ^H3091 did ^H6213 so ^H3651.
