19
And the people came up out of Jordan on the tenth
day
of the first month, and encamped in
Gilgal, in the east border of Jericho.
20
And those twelve stones, which they took out of Jordan, did
Joshua pitch in Gilgal.
21
And he spake unto the children of Israel, saying, When your children
shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What
mean
these stones?
22
Then ye shall let your
children know, saying, Israel came over this Jordan on dry land.
23
For the L
ORD
your God dried
up the waters of Jordan from before you, until ye were passed over, as the L
ORD
your God did to
the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until we were gone over:
24
That all the people of
the earth might know the hand of the L
ORD
, that it
is
mighty: that ye might fear the L
ORD
your God
for ever.
CHAPTER 5
And it came to pass, when all 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, heard that the L
ORD
had dried up the
waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart
melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
2
At that time the L
ORD
said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the
children of Israel the second time.
3
And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the
children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4
And this
is
the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All
the people that came out of Egypt,
that were
males,
even
all 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 all the people
that were
born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt,
them
they had not circumcised.
6
For the children of Israel walked forty 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 L
ORD
: unto whom the L
ORD
sware that he would not shew them the land, which
the L
ORD
sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7
And their children,
whom
he 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, when
they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were
whole.
9
And the L
ORD
said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from
off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.
10
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on 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, unleavened cakes, and parched
corn
in the selfsame day.
12
And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither
had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that
year.
