Joshua:5:2-12
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 him sharp knives ,
and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
For the children of Israel walked forty #
arba #
iym #
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 he would not shew them the land ,
which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us ,
a land that floweth with milk and honey .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And the LORD 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 .
*
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal ,
and kept the passover on the fourteenth #
H6240day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho .
*
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 .
*
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 .
