Joshua 5

2 Ref At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, Make you flint knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

3 Ref Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

4 Ref This is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: all the people who came forth out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt.

5 Ref For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised.

6 Ref For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, even the men of war who came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn't listen to the voice of Yahweh: to whom Yahweh swore that he wouldn't let them see the land which Yahweh swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7 Ref Their children, whom he raised up in their place, them did Joshua circumcise: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.

8 Ref It happened, when they had done circumcising all the nation, that they abode in their places in the camp, until they were whole.

9 Ref Yahweh said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to this day.

10 Ref The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.

11 Ref They ate of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, in the same day.

12 Ref The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
