Chapter 5

1

AND it came to pass, when all the kings of the Emoriym, which were on the side of the Yardan westward, and all the kings of the Kena`aniym, which were by the sea, heard את that Yahuah had dried up the waters of the Yardan from before the children of Yashar'el, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there ruach in them anymore, because of the children of Yashar'el.

2

At that time Yahuah said unto El-Yahusha, Make you sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Yashar'el the second time.

3

And Yahusha made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Yashar'el at the hill of the foreskins.

4

And this is the cause why Yahusha did circumcise: All the people that came out of Mitsrayim, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Mitsrayim.

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 Mitsrayim, them they had not circumcised.

6

For the children of Yashar'el walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Mitsrayim, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of Yahuah: unto whom Yahuah swore that he would not show them the land, which Yahuah swore unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that flows with milk and honey.

7

And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Yahusha circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.

8

And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.

9

And Yahuah said unto El-Yahusha, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Mitsrayim from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.

10

And the children of Yashar'el encamped in Gilgal, and kept the Pecach on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Yeriycho.

11

And they did eat of the old grain of the land on the morrow after the Pecach, matstsah cakes, and parched grain in the selfsame day.

12

And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old grain of the land; neither had the children of Yashar'el manna anymore; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Kena`an that year.

13

And it came to pass, when Yahusha was by Yeriycho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Yahusha went unto him, and said unto him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries?

14

And he said, Nay; but as Captain of the Host of Yahuah am I now come. And Yahusha fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What says Adonai unto his servant?

15

And the Captain of Yahuah's Host said unto El-Yahusha, Loose your shoe from off your foot; for the place whereon you stand is holy. And Yahusha did so.
