* 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 that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel , until they had passed over , that their heart melted , and there was no spirit in them any more , because of the children of Israel . * At that time Jehovah said to Joshua , Make thee stone-knives , and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time . * And Joshua made him stone-knives , and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of Araloth . * And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised [them ]: all the people that had come out of Egypt , the males , all the men of war , had died in the wilderness on the way , after they came 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 , after they came out of Egypt , [them ] had they not circumcised . * For the children of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness , till the whole nation of men of war had perished who had come out of Egypt , who had not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah ; to whom Jehovah had sworn that he would not show them the land which Jehovah had sworn unto their fathers that he would give us , a land flowing with milk and honey . * And their sons [whom ] he raised up in their stead , them Joshua circumcised , for they were uncircumcised , because they had not circumcised them on the way . * And it came to pass when the whole nation had finished being circumcised , that they abode in their place in the camp , till they were whole . * And Jehovah said to Joshua , This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you . And the name of the place was called Gilgal to this day . * And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal , and held the passover on the fourteenth day of the month , at even , in the plains of Jericho . * And they ate of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover , unleavened loaves , and roasted [corn ] on that same day . * And the manna ceased on the morrow , when they had eaten of the old corn of the land ; and there was no more manna for the children of Israel ; and they ate of the produce 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 before him with his sword drawn in his hand . And Joshua went to him , and said to him : Art thou for us , or for our enemies ? * And he said , No ; for [as ] captain of the army of Jehovah am I now come . Then Joshua fell upon his face to the earth , and worshipped , and said to him , What saith my lord unto his servant ? * And the captain of Jehovah 's army said to Joshua , Loose thy sandal from off thy foot : for the place whereon thou standest is holy . And Joshua did so .
