Chapter 5

1When all the kings of the Amorites on the western side of the Yarden, and all the kings of the Canaanites near the Sea, heard how Hashem had dried up the waters of the Yarden for the sake of the Israelites until they crossed over, they lost heart, and no spirit was left in them because of the Israelites.

2At that time Hashem said to Yehoshua, “Make flint knives and proceed with a second circumcision of the Israelites.”

3So Yehoshua had flint knives made, and the Israelites were circumcised at Gibeath-haaraloth.

4This is the reason why Yehoshua had the circumcision performed: All the people who had come out of Egypt, all the males of military age, had died during the desert wanderings after leaving Egypt.

5Now, whereas all the people who came out of Egypt had been circumcised, none of the people born after the exodus, during the desert wanderings, had been circumcised.

6For the Israelites had traveled in the wilderness forty years, until the entire nation—the men of military age who had left Egypt—had perished; because they had not obeyed Hashem, and Hashem had sworn never to let them see the land that Hashem had sworn to their fathers to assign to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

7But He had raised up their sons in their stead; and it was these that Yehoshua circumcised, for they were uncircumcised, not having been circumcised on the way.

8After the circumcising of the whole nation was completed, they remained where they were, in the camp, until they recovered.

9And Hashem said to Yehoshua, “Today I have rolled away from you the disgrace of Egypt.” So that place was called Gilgal, as it still is.

10Encamped at Gilgal, in the steppes of Yericho, the Israelites offered the Pesach sacrifice on the fourteenth day of the month, toward evening.

11On the day after the Pesach offering, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the country, unleavened bread and parched grain.

12On that same day, when they ate of the produce of the land, the manna ceased. The Israelites got no more manna; that year they ate of the yield of the land of Canaan.

13Once, when Yehoshua was near Yericho, he looked up and saw a man standing before him, drawn sword in hand. Yehoshua went up to him and asked him, “Are you one of us or of our enemies?”

14He replied, “No, I am captain of Hashem's host. Now I have come!” Yehoshua threw himself face down to the ground and, prostrating himself, said to him, “What does my lord command his servant?”

15The captain of Hashem's host answered Yehoshua, “Remove your sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Yehoshua did so.
