Joshua 5:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 When all the Amorite kings on the west side of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the seacoast heard how the LORD had dried up the water of the Jordan before the Israelites while they crossed, they lost their courage and could not even breathe for fear of the Israelites.
2 At that time the LORD told Joshua, "Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites once again."
3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites on the Hill of the Foreskins.
4 This is why Joshua had to circumcise them: All the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt died on the journey through the desert after they left Egypt.
5 Now all the men who left were circumcised, but all the sons born on the journey through the desert after they left Egypt were uncircumcised.
6 Indeed, for forty years the Israelites traveled through the desert until all the men old enough to fight when they left Egypt, the ones who had disobeyed the LORD, died off. For the LORD had sworn a solemn oath to them that he would not let them see the land he had sworn on oath to give them, a land rich in milk and honey.
7 He replaced them with their sons, whom Joshua circumcised. They were uncircumcised; their fathers had not circumcised them along the way.
8 When all the men had been circumcised, they stayed there in the camp until they had healed.
9 The LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have taken away the disgrace of Egypt from you." So that place is called Gilgal even to this day.
10 So the Israelites camped in Gilgal and celebrated the Passover in the evening of the fourteenth day of the month on the plains of Jericho.
11 They ate some of the produce of the land the day after the Passover, including unleavened bread and roasted grain.
12 The manna stopped appearing the day they ate some of the produce of the land; the Israelites never ate manna again.
13 When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him holding a drawn sword. Joshua approached him and asked him, "Are you on our side or allied with our enemies?"
14 He answered, "Truly I am the commander of the LORD's army. Now I have arrived!" Joshua bowed down with his face to the ground and asked, "What does my master want to say to his servant?"
15 The commander of the LORD's army answered Joshua, "Remove your sandals from your feet, because the place where you stand is holy." Joshua did so.
1 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when all H3605 NMS the kings H4428 CMP of the Amorites H567 D-TMS , which H834 RPRO were on the side H5676 of Jordan H3383 D-EFS westward H3220 , and all H3605 NMS the kings H4428 CMP of the Canaanites H3669 , which H834 RPRO were by H5921 PREP the sea H3220 D-NMS , heard H8085 that H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS had dried up H3001 the waters H4325 of Jordan H3383 D-EFS from before H6440 M-CMP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , until H5704 PREP we were passed over H5674 , that their heart H3824 melted H4549 , neither H3808 W-NPAR was H1961 VQQ3MS there spirit H7307 NFS in them any more H5750 ADV , because H6440 M-CMP of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 LMS .
2 At that H1931 time H6256 the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 VQQ3MS unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , Make H6213 VQI2MS thee sharp H6864 knives H2719 , and circumcise H4135 again H7725 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 the second H8145 time .
3 And Joshua H3091 made H6213 W-VQY3MS him sharp H6864 knives H2719 , and circumcised H4135 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 at H413 PREP the hill H1389 of the foreskins H6190 .
4 And this H2088 W-PMS is the cause H1697 D-NMS why H834 RPRO Joshua H3091 did circumcise H4135 : All H3605 NMS the people H5971 that came out H3318 of Egypt H4714 M-TFS , that were males H2145 , even all H3605 NMS the men H376 of war H4421 , died H4191 in the wilderness H4057 by the way H1870 , after they came out H3318 of Egypt H4714 .
5 Now H3588 CONJ all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that came out H3318 D-VQPMP were H1961 VQQ3MP circumcised H4135 : but all H3605 NMS the people H5971 that were born H3209 in the wilderness H4057 by the way H1870 as they came forth H3318 out of Egypt H4714 M-TFS , them they had not H3808 NADV circumcised H4135 .
6 For H3588 CONJ the children H1121 of Israel H3478 walked H1980 VQQ3MP forty H705 MMP years H8141 NFS in the wilderness H4057 , till H5704 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H1471 that were men H376 CMP of war H4421 , which came out H3318 of Egypt H4714 M-TFS , were consumed H8552 , because H834 RPRO they obeyed H8085 VQQ3MP not H3808 ADV the voice H6963 B-NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS : unto whom H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS swore H7650 that he would not H1115 L-NPAR show H7200 them the land H776 D-GFS , which H834 RPRO the LORD H3068 EDS swore H7650 unto their fathers H1 that he would give H5414 us , a land H776 GFS that floweth H2100 with milk H2461 NMS and honey H1706 .
7 And their children H1121 , whom he raised up H6965 in their stead H8478 , them Joshua H3091 circumcised H4135 : for H3588 CONJ they were H1961 VQQ3MP uncircumcised H6189 , because H3588 CONJ they had not H3808 NADV circumcised H4135 them by the way H1870 .
8 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when H834 K-RPRO they had done H8552 VQQ3MP circumcising H4135 all H3605 CMS the people H1471 , that they abode H3427 W-VQY3MP in their places H8478 in the camp H4264 , till H5704 PREP they were whole H2421 .
9 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , This day H3117 D-AMS have I rolled away H1556 the reproach H2781 of Egypt H4714 EFS from off H5921 you . Wherefore the name H8034 CMS of the place H4725 D-NMS is called H7121 W-VQY3MS Gilgal H1537 unto H5704 PREP this H2088 D-PMS day H3117 D-AMS .
10 And the children H1121 of Israel H3478 encamped H2583 W-VQY3MP in Gilgal H1537 , and kept H6213 W-VQY3MP the passover H6453 on the fourteenth H702 day H3117 NMS of the month H2320 LD-NMS at even H6153 in the plains H6160 of Jericho H3405 .
11 And they did eat H398 W-VQY3MP of the old corn H5669 of the land H776 D-GFS on the morrow after H4283 the passover H6453 , unleavened cakes H4682 , and parched H7033 corn in the selfsame H6106 B-CFS day H3117 D-AMS .
12 And the manna H4478 ceased H7673 W-VQY3MS on the morrow H4283 after they had eaten H398 of the old corn H5669 of the land H776 D-GFS ; neither H3808 W-NPAR had H1961 VQQ3MS the children H1121 L-CMP of Israel H3478 manna H4478 any more H5750 ADV ; but they did eat H398 W-VQY3MP of the fruit H8393 of the land H776 GFS of Canaan H3667 LMS that H1931 year H8141 .
13 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when Joshua H3091 was H1961 by Jericho H3405 , that he lifted up H5375 W-VQY3MS his eyes H5869 CMD-3MS and looked H7200 W-VIY3MS , and , behold H2009 IJEC , there stood H5975 a man H376 NMS over against H5048 him with his sword H2719 drawn H8025 in his hand H3027 B-CFS-3MS : and Joshua H3091 went H1980 W-VQY3MS unto him H413 PREP-3MS , and said H559 W-VQY3MS unto him , Art thou H859 PPRO-2MS for us , or H518 PART for our adversaries H6862 ?
14 And he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Nay H3808 NPAR ; but H3588 CONJ as captain H8269 of the host H6635 of the LORD H3068 EDS am I H589 PPRO-1MS now H6258 ADV come H935 .

15 And the captain H8269 of the LORD H3068 EDS \'s host H6635 said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP Joshua H3091 , Loose H5394 thy shoe H5275 from off H5921 M-PREP thy foot H7272 ; for H3588 CONJ the place H4725 D-NMS whereon H834 RPRO thou H859 PPRO-2MS standest H5975 is holy H6944 . And Joshua H3091 did H6213 W-VQY3MS so H3651 ADV .
