5:1 And it came to pass, when all the kings 4428 of the Amorites 567, which [were] on the side 5676 of Jordan 3383 westward 3220, and all the kings 4428 of the Canaanites 3669, which [were] by the sea 3220, heard 8085 8800 that the LORD 3068 had dried up 3001 8689 the waters 4325 of Jordan 3383 from before 6440 the children 1121 of Israel 3478, until we were passed over 5674 8800, that their heart 3824 melted 4549 8735, neither was there spirit 7307 in them any more, because 6440 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478.

5:2 At that time 6256 the LORD 3068 said 559 8804 unto Joshua 3091, Make 6213 8798 thee sharp 6697 knives 2719, and circumcise 4135 8798 again 7725 8798 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 the second time 8145.(sharp…: or, knives of flints)

5:3 And Joshua 3091 made 6213 8799 him sharp 6697 knives 2719, and circumcised 4135 8799 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 at the hill 1389 of the foreskins 6190.(sharp…: or, knives of flints)(the hill…: or, Gibeah-haaraloth)

5:4 And this [is] the cause 1697 why Joshua 3091 did circumcise 4135 8804: All the people 5971 that came out 3318 8802 of Egypt 4714, [that were] males 2145, [even] all the men 582 of war 4421, died 4191 8804 in the wilderness 4057 by the way 1870, after they came out 3318 8800 of Egypt 4714.

5:5 Now 3588 all the people 5971 that came out 3318 8802 were circumcised 4135 8803: but all the people 5971 [that were] born 3209 in the wilderness 4057 by the way 1870 as they came forth 3318 8800 out of Egypt 4714, [them] they had not circumcised 4135 8804.

5:6 For the children 1121 of Israel 3478 walked 1980 8804 forty 705 years 8141 in the wilderness 4057, till all the people 1471 [that were] men 582 of war 4421, which came out 3318 8802 of Egypt 4714, were consumed 8552 8800, because they obeyed 8085 8804 not the voice 6963 of the LORD 3068: unto whom the LORD 3068 sware 7650 8738 that he would not shew 7200 8687 them the land 776, which the LORD 3068 sware 7650 8738 unto their fathers 1 that he would give 5414 8800 us, a land 776 that floweth 2100 8802 with milk 2461 and honey 1706.

5:7 And their children 1121, [whom] he raised up 6965 8689 in their stead, them Joshua 3091 circumcised 4135 8804: for they were uncircumcised 6189, because they had not circumcised 4135 8804 them by the way 1870.

5:8 And it came to pass, when they had done 8552 8804 circumcising 4135 8736 all the people 1471, that they abode 3427 8799 in their places in the camp 4264, till they were whole 2421 8800.(they had…: Heb. the people had made an end to be circumcised)

5:9 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Joshua 3091, This day 3117 have I rolled away 1556 8804 the reproach 2781 of Egypt 4714 from off you. Wherefore the name 8034 of the place 4725 is called 7121 8799 Gilgal 1537 unto this day 3117.(Gilgal: that is Rolling)

5:10 And the children 1121 of Israel 3478 encamped 2583 8799 in Gilgal 1537, and kept 6213 8799 the passover 6453 on the fourteenth 702 6240 day 3117 of the month 2320 at even 6153 in the plains 6160 of Jericho 3405.

5:11 And they did eat 398 8799 of the old corn 5669 of the land 776 on the morrow 4283 after the passover 6453, unleavened cakes 4682, and parched 7033 8803 [corn] in the selfsame 6106 day 3117.

5:12 And the manna 4478 ceased 7673 8799 on the morrow 4283 after they had eaten 398 8800 of the old corn 5669 of the land 776; neither had the children 1121 of Israel 3478 manna 4478 any more; but they did eat 398 8799 of the fruit 8393 of the land 776 of Canaan 3667 that year 8141.

5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua 3091 was by Jericho 3405, that he lifted up 5375 8799 his eyes 5869 and looked 7200 8799, and, behold, there stood 5975 8802 a man 376 over against him with his sword 2719 drawn 8025 8803 in his hand 3027: and Joshua 3091 went 3212 8799 unto him, and said 559 8799 unto him, [Art] thou for us, or for our adversaries 6862?

5:14 And he said 559 8799, Nay; but [as] captain 8269 of the host 6635 of the LORD 3068 am I now come 935 8804. And Joshua 3091 fell 5307 8799 on his face 6440 to the earth 776, and did worship 7812 8691, and said 559 8799 unto him, What saith 1696 8764 my lord 113 unto his servant 5650?(captain: or, prince)

5:15 And the captain 8269 of the LORD'S 3068 host 6635 said 559 8799 unto Joshua 3091, Loose 5394 8798 thy shoe 5275 from off thy foot 7272; for the place 4725 whereon thou standest 5975 8802 [is] holy 6944. And Joshua 3091 did 6213 8799 so.
