Joshua 5

Joshua Chapter 5 KJV

1The Canaanites are afraid. 2Joshua reneweth circumcision. 10The passover is kept at Gilgal. 12The manna ceaseth. 13An angel appeareth to Joshua.
1 And it came to pass, when 1all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, 2heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, 3neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
2 ¶ At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee asharp knives, and 1circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
3 And Joshua made him asharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at bthe hill of the foreskins.
4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: 1All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even 2all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but 1all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they 2had not circumcised.
6 For the children of Israel walked 1forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: unto whom the Lord sware that 2he would not shew them the land, which the Lord 3sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7 And 1their children, whom 2he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
8 And it came to pass, awhen they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, 1till they were whole.
9 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the 1reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called aGilgal unto this day.
10 ¶ And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and 1kept the passover 2on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, 1unleavened cakes, and 2parched corn in the selfsame day.
12 ¶ And the manna 1ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; 2but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13 ¶ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he 1lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood 2a man over against him 3with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14 And he said, Nay; but as acaptain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua 1fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, 2What saith my lord unto his servant?
15 And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, 1Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.
