Josué 5:10 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 5:10

And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal
Not after their circumcision, but before, and where they continued encamped during that, and until the passover had been kept by them; this was little more than a mile from Jericho, (See Gill on Joshua 4:19);

and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even;
exactly as it was ordered to be observed, and was observed when first kept, ( Exodus 12:6 ) ;

in the plains of Jericho:
a proper place both for their encampment, and the celebration of the passover, and where very likely they met with lambs enough for their purpose, which belonged to the inhabitants of Jericho; or however being now got into the good land, they needed not, and were under no temptation of sparing their own: historians agree, as Strabo F5, Josephus F6, and others, that Jericho was seated in a plain.

Josué 5:10 In-Context

8 E depois que foram todos circuncidados, permaneceram no seu lugar no arraial, até que sararam.
9 Disse então o Senhor a Josué: Hoje revolvi de sobre vós o opróbrio do Egito; pelo que se chama aquele lugar: Gilgal, até o dia de hoje.
10 Estando, pois, os filhos de Israel acampados em Gilgal, celebraram a páscoa no dia catorze do mês, � tarde, nas planícies de Jericó.
11 E, ao outro dia depois da páscoa, nesse mesmo dia, comeram, do produto da terra, pães ázimos e espigas tostadas.
12 E no dia depois de terem comido do produto da terra, cessou o maná, e os filhos de Israel não o tiveram mais; porém nesse ano comeram dos produtos da terra de Canaã.
