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.

14 He said, "No; I am the captain of the army of the Lord, and now I have come [here]. And Jesus fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down to him, and said unto him, What shall my lord say unto his servant?

15 And the captain of the army of the Lord said unto Joshua, Take off thy shoes from thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy. Jesus did so.

16 Jericho was shut up, and was shut up because of the fear of the children of Israel: no one went out [out of it], and no one went in.

Chapter 6

1 Then the Lord said to Joshua, 'Behold, I deliver into your hand Jericho and its king, and mighty men who are in it;
