4
And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise : All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war,died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5
Now all the people that came out were circumcised : but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised .
6
For the children of Israelwalkedfortyyears in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed , because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORDsware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORDsware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7
And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshuacircumcised : for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
8
And it came to pass, when they had donecircumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole .
9
And the LORDsaid unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is calledGilgal unto this day.
10
And the children of Israelencamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth*day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
11
And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsameday.
12
And the mannaceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israelmanna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked , and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sworddrawn in his hand: and Joshuawent unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
14
And he said , Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come . And Joshuafell on his face to the earth, and did worship , and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?
