06:005:004 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.
06:005:005 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.
06:005:006 For the children of Israel walked forty years 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 LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which
the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that
floweth with milk and honey.
06:005:007 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them
Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not
circumcised them by the way.
06:005:008 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.
06:005:009 And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away
the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is
called Gilgal unto this day.
06:005:010 And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the
passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of
Jericho.
06:005:011 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow
after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame
day.
06:005:012 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of
the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any
more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
06:005:013 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 sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him,
and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?
06:005:014 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am
I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship,
and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?
06:005:015 And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose
thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is
holy. And Joshua did so.
06:006:001 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of
Israel: none went out, and none came in.
06:006:002 And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine
hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.
06:006:003 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go
round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
06:006:004 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets
of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven
times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.
