24 that all the nations of the earth may know that the hand of the LORD is mighty, that ye may fear the LORD your God always.

Chapter 5

1 And when all the kings of the Amorites, who dwelt on this side of the Jordan to the sea, and all the kings of Canaan who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel, while they were crossing, then their hearts were faint, and there was no more spirit in them against the children of Israel.

2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, 'Make thee sharp [stone] knives, and circumcise the children of Israel a second time.'

3 And Joshua made himself sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of circumcision.

4 This is the reason why Jesus circumcised [the children of Israel who were then born on the way, and which of those who came out of Egypt were not then circumcised, Jesus circumcised them all]: all the people that came out of Egypt, the males, all who were capable of war, died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

5 And all the people that went out were circumcised, but all the people that were born in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt, were not circumcised.

6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the people who were able to fight, who came up out of Egypt, who did not hear the voice of the Lord, and to whom the Lord swore that they would not see the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers, to give us a land flowing with milk and honey,

7 but in their place he raised up their sons. These were circumcised by Jesus, for they were uncircumcised; for they were not circumcised.

8 And when all the people were circumcised, they remained in their place in the camp until they recovered.

9 And the Lord said to Joshua, 'This day I have taken away from you the shame of Egypt.' That is why that place is called "Gilgal", even to this day.

10 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening in the plains of Jericho;

11 And on the next day of the Passover, they began to eat of the produce of this land, unleavened bread and dried grains on that very day;

12 And the manna ceased to fall on the day after they began to eat the produce of the land, and the children of Israel had no more manna, but they ate that year the produce of the land of Canaan.
