* And it came to pass , when all the kings of the Amorites , who were beyond the Jordan westward , and all the kings of the Canaanites , who were by the sea , heard how that LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the sons * At that time LORD said to Joshua , Make for thee knives of flint , and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time . * And Joshua made him knives of flint , and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins . * And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised : 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 . * 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 . * For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness till all the nation , even the men of war who came forth out of Egypt , were consumed , because they did not hearken to the voice of LORD , to whom LORD swore that he would no * And their sons , 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 nation , that they abode in their places in the camp , till they were recovered . * And LORD said to Joshua , This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you . Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal , to this day . * And the sons of Israel encamped in Gilgal . And they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho . * And they ate of the produce of the land on the morrow after the Passover , unleavened cakes and parched grain , in the selfsame day . * And the manna ceased on the morrow , after they had eaten of the produce of the land . Neither had the sons of Israel manna any more , but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year . * And it came to pass , when Joshua was by Jericho , that he lifted up his eyes and looked , and , behold , there stood a man opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand . And Joshua went to him , and said to him , Are thou for us , or for * And he said , No , but [as ] captain of the army of LORD I have now come . And Joshua fell on his face to the earth , and worshiped , and said to him , What does my lord say to his servant ? * And the captain of LORD 's army said to Joshua , Put off thy shoe from off thy foot , for the place on which thou stand is holy . And Joshua did so .
