1. And it came to pass when the kings of the Amorites who were beyond Jordan heard, and the kings of Phoenicia by the sea, that the Lord God had dried up the river Jordan from before the children of Israel when they passed over, that Gr. their minds or thoughts melted their hearts failed, and they were terror-stricken, and there was no sense in them Gr. from the face of because of the children of Israel.
|
1. And it came to pass H1961 , when all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Amorites H567 , which H834 were on the side H5676 of Jordan H3383 westward H3220 , and all H3605 the kings H4428 of the Canaanites H3669 , which H834 were by H5921 the sea H3220 , heard H8085 H853 that H834 the LORD H3068 had dried up H3001 H853 the waters H4325 of Jordan H3383 from before H4480 H6440 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , until H5704 we were passed over H5674 , that their heart H3824 melted H4549 , neither H3808 was H1961 there spirit H7307 in them any more H5750 , because H4480 H6440 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 .

|
2. And about this time the Lord said to Joshua, Make thee stone knives of sharp stone, and sit down and circumcise the children of Israel the second time.
|
2. At that H1931 time H6256 the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Joshua H3091 , Make H6213 thee sharp H6864 knives H2719 , and circumcise H4135 again H7725 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 the second H8145 time.
|
|
3. And Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called the "Hill of Foreskins."
|
3. And Joshua H3091 made H6213 him sharp H6864 knives H2719 , and circumcised H4135 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 at H413 the hill H1389 of the foreskins H6190 .
|
|
4. And this is the way in which Joshua purified the children of Israel; as many as were born in the way, and as many as were uncircumcised of them that came out of Egypt,
|
4. And this H2088 is the cause H1697 why H834 Joshua H3091 did circumcise H4135 : All H3605 the people H5971 that came out H3318 of Egypt H4480 H4714 , that were males H2145 , even all H3605 the men H376 of war H4421 , died H4191 in the wilderness H4057 by the way H1870 , after they came out H3318 of Egypt H4480 H4714 .
|
|
5. all these Joshua circumcised; for forty and two years Israel wandered in the wilderness of Mabdaris—
|
5. Now H3588 all H3605 the people H5971 that came out H3318 were H1961 circumcised H4135 : but all H3605 the people H5971 that were born H3209 in the wilderness H4057 by the way H1870 as they came forth H3318 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 , them they had not H3808 circumcised H4135 .
|
|
6. Wherefore most of the fighting men that came out of the land of Egypt, were uncircumcised, who disobeyed the commands of God; concerning whom also he determined that they should not see the land, which the Lord sware to give to their fathers, even a land flowing with milk and honey.
|
6. For H3588 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 walked H1980 forty H705 years H8141 in the wilderness H4057 , till H5704 all H3605 the people H1471 that were men H376 of war H4421 , which came out H3318 of Egypt H4480 H4714 , were consumed H8552 , because H834 they obeyed H8085 not H3808 the voice H6963 of the LORD H3068 : unto whom H834 the LORD H3068 swore H7650 that he would not H1115 show H7200 them H853 the land H776 , which H834 the LORD H3068 swore H7650 unto their fathers H1 that he would give H5414 us , a land H776 that floweth H2100 with milk H2461 and honey H1706 .
|
|
7. And in their place he raised up their sons, whom Joshua circumcised, because they were uncircumcised, having been born by the way.
|
7. And their children H1121 , whom he raised up H6965 in their stead H8478 , them Joshua H3091 circumcised H4135 : for H3588 they were H1961 uncircumcised H6189 , because H3588 they had not H3808 circumcised H4135 them by the way H1870 .
|
|
8. And when they had been circumcised they rested Gr. sitting; A frequent Hebraism continuing there in the camp till they were healed.
|
8. And it came to pass H1961 , when H834 they had done H8552 circumcising H4135 all H3605 the people H1471 , that they abode H3427 in their places H8478 in the camp H4264 , till H5704 they were whole H2421 .
|
|
9. And the Lord said to Joshua the son of Naue, On this day have I removed the reproach of Egypt from you: and he called the name of that place Galgala.
|
9. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 Joshua H3091 , This day H3117 have I rolled away H1556 H853 the reproach H2781 of Egypt H4714 from off H4480 H5921 you . Wherefore the name H8034 of the place H4725 is called H7121 Gilgal H1537 unto H5704 this H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
10. And the children of Israel kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, to the westward of Jericho on the opposite side of the Jordan in the plain.
|
10. And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 encamped H2583 in Gilgal H1537 , and kept H6213 H853 the passover H6453 on the fourteenth H702 H6240 day H3117 of the month H2320 at even H6153 in the plains H6160 of Jericho H3405 .
|
|
11. And they ate of the grain of the earth unleavened and new corn.
|
11. And they did eat H398 of the old corn H4480 H5669 of the land H776 on the morrow after H4480 H4283 the passover H6453 , unleavened cakes H4682 , and parched H7033 corn in the selfsame H6106 H2088 day H3117 .
|
|
12. In this day the manna failed, after they had eaten of the corn of the land, and the children of Israel no longer had manna: and they took the fruits of the land of the Phoenicians in that year.
|
12. And the manna H4478 ceased H7673 on the morrow H4480 H4283 after they had eaten H398 of the old corn H4480 H5669 of the land H776 ; neither H3808 had H1961 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 manna H4478 any more H5750 ; but they did eat H398 of the fruit H4480 H8393 of the land H776 of Canaan H3667 that H1931 year H8141 .
|
|
13. And it came to pass when Joshua was in Jericho, that he looked up with his eyes and saw a man standing before him, and there was a drawn sword in his hand; and Joshua drew near and said to him, Art thou for us or on the side of our enemies?
|
13. And it came to pass H1961 , when Joshua H3091 was H1961 by Jericho H3405 , that he lifted up H5375 his eyes H5869 and looked H7200 , and, behold H2009 , there stood H5975 a man H376 over against H5048 him with his sword H2719 drawn H8025 in his hand H3027 : and Joshua H3091 went H1980 unto him H413 , and said H559 unto him, Art thou H859 for us, or H518 for our adversaries H6862 ?
|
|
14. And he said to him, I am now come, the chief captain of the host of the Lord.
|
14. And he said H559 , Nay H3808 ; but H3588 as captain H8269 of the host H6635 of the LORD H3068 am I H589 now H6258 come H935 . And Joshua H3091 fell H5307 on H413 his face H6440 to the earth H776 , and did worship H7812 , and said H559 unto him, What H4100 saith H1696 my lord H113 unto H413 his servant H5650 ?
|
|
15. And Joshua fell on his face upon the earth, and said to him, Lord, what commandest thou thy servant?
|
15. And the captain H8269 of the LORD H3068 's host H6635 said H559 unto H413 Joshua H3091 , Loose H5394 thy shoe H5275 from off H4480 H5921 thy foot H7272 ; for H3588 the place H4725 whereon H834 H5921 thou H859 standest H5975 is holy H6944 . And Joshua H3091 did H6213 so H3651 .
|
|
16. And the captain of the Lord’s host said to Joshua, Loose thy shoe off thy feet, for the place whereon thou now standest is holy.
