* And it came to pass , when all the kings of the Emorites , who were on the side of the Jordan westward , and all the kings of the Canaanites , who were by the sea , heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel , until they were passed over , that their heart melted , and there remained no more any courage in them , because of the children of Israel . * At that time the Lord said unto Joshua , Make thee sharp knives , and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time . * And Joshua made himself sharp knives , and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of ‘Araloth . * And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise : All the people that came out of Egypt , the males , all the men of war , died in the wilderness on the way , after their going forth out of Egypt . * For all the people that came out were circumcised ; but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way at their going forth out of Egypt , they had not circumcised . * For during forty years the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness , till there was an end of all the people , the men of war , who were come out of Egypt , who had not obeyed the voice of the Lord ; unto whom the Lord had sworn that he would not let them see the land , which the Lord had sworn unto their fathers that he would give unto us , a land flowing with milk and honey . * But their children he raised up in their stead : these did Joshua circumcise ; for they were uncircumcised , because they had not circumcised them on the way . * And it came to pass , when the whole people had all been circumcised , that they abode in their places in the camp till they were healed . * And the Lord said unto Joshua , This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you . And he called the name of the place Gilgal unto this day . * And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal , and they prepared the passover –offering on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho . * And they ate of the corn of the land on the morrow after the passover –offering , unleavened cakes and parched corn , on the selfsame day . * And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the corn of the land ; and the children of Israel had not any more manna ; but they did eat of the product of the land of Canaan during that year .
