| [1]And it cometh to pass when all the kings of the Amorite which [are] beyond the Jordan, towards the sea, and all the kings of the Canaanite which [are] by the sea, hear how that Jehovah hath dried up the waters of the Jordan at the presence of the sons of Israel till their passing over, that their heart is melted, and there hath not been in them any more spirit because of the presence of the sons of Israel. |
[1]Now when all the Kings of the Amorites, which were beyond Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites which were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of Jordan before the children of Israel until they were gone over, their heart fainted: and there was no courage in them anymore because of the children of Israel. |
| [2]At that time said Jehovah unto Joshua, `Make for thee knives of flint, and turn back, circumcise the sons of Israel a second time;' |
[2]That same time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and return, and circumcise the sons of Israel the second time. |
| [3]and Joshua maketh for him knives of flint, and circumciseth the sons of Israel at the height of the foreskins. |
[3]Then Joshua made him sharp knives and circumcised the sons of Israel in the hill of the foreskins. |
| [4]And this [is] the thing [for] which Joshua circumciseth [them]: all the people who are coming out of Egypt, who are males, all the men of war have died in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming out of Egypt, |
[4]And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised all the people, even the males that came out of Egypt, because all the men of war were dead in the wilderness by the way after they came out of Egypt. |
| [5]for all the people who are coming out were circumcised, and all the people who [are] born in the wilderness, in the way, in their coming out from Egypt, they have not circumcised; |
[5]For all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way after they came out of Egypt, were not circumcised. |
| [6]for forty years have the sons of Israel gone in the wilderness, till all the nation of the men of war who are coming out of Egypt, who hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah, to whom Jehovah hath sworn not to show them the land which Jehovah sware to their fathers to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey, are consumed; |
[6]For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people of the men of war that came out of Egypt were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: unto whom the Lord swear, that he would not show them the land, which the Lord had sworn unto their fathers, that he would give us, even a land that floweth with milk and honey. |
| [7]and their sons He raised up in their stead, them hath Joshua circumcised, for they have been uncircumcised, for they have not circumcised them in the way. |
[7]So their sons whom he raised up in their stead, Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they circumcised them not by the way. |
| [8]And it cometh to pass when all the nation have completed to be circumcised, that they abide in their places in the camp till their recovering; |
[8]And when they had made an end of circumcising all the people, they abode in the places in the camp till they were whole. |
| [9]and Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `To-day I have rolled the reproach of Egypt from off you;' and [one] calleth the name of that place Gilgal unto this day. |
[9]After, the Lord said unto Joshua, This day I have taken away the shame of Egypt from you: wherefore he called the name of that place Gilgal, unto this day. |
| [10]And the sons of Israel encamp in Gilgal, and make the passover on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho; |
[10]So the children of Israel abode in Gilgal, and kept the feast of the Passover the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plain of Jericho. |
| [11]and they eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow of the passover, unleavened things and roasted [corn], in this self-same day; |
[11]And they did eat of the corn of the land, on the morrow after the Passover, unleavened bread, and parched corn in the same day. |
| [12]and the manna doth cease on the morrow in their eating of the old corn of the land, and there hath been no more manna to the sons of Israel, and they eat of the increase of the land of Canaan in that year. |
[12]And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the corn of the land, neither had the children of Israel manna anymore, but did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. |
| [13]And it cometh to pass in Joshua's being by Jericho, that he lifteth up his eyes, and looketh, and lo, one standing over-against him, and his drawn sword in his hand, and Joshua goeth unto him, and saith to him, `Art thou for us or for our adversaries?' |
[13]And when Joshua was by Jericho, he lift up his eyes and looked: and behold, there stood a man against him, having a sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou on our side, or on our adversaries? |
| [14]And He saith, `No, for I [am] Prince of Jehovah's host; now I have come;' and Joshua falleth on his face to the earth, and doth obeisance, and saith to Him, `What is my Lord speaking unto His servant?' |
[14]And he said, Nay, but as a captain of the host of the Lord am I now come: then Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant? |
| [15]And the Prince of Jehovah's host saith unto Joshua, `Cast off thy shoe from off thy foot, for the place on which thou art standing is holy;' and Joshua doth so; |
[15]And the captain of the Lord's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe off thy foot: for the place whereon thou standest, is holy: and Joshua did so. |
