The Circumcision and Passover at Gilgal

The Circumcision and Passover at Gilgal


5Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast [fn] heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over,[fn] their hearts melted and their spirits failed for fear of the Israelites.


2At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel once again.[fn] 3So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.[fn]


4Now this is why Joshua circumcised them: All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of war—had died on the journey in the wilderness after they had left Egypt. 5Though all who had come out were circumcised, none of those born in the wilderness on the journey from Egypt had been circumcised.


6For the Israelites had wandered in the wilderness forty years, until all the nation’s men of war who had come out of Egypt had died, since they did not obey the LORD. So the LORD vowed never to let them see the land He had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey. 7And Joshua raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones he circumcised. Until this time they were still uncircumcised, since they had not been circumcised along the way.


8And after all the nation had been circumcised, they stayed there in the camp until they were healed.


9Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So that place has been called Gilgal [fn] to this day.


10On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while the Israelites were camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they kept the Passover. 11The day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate unleavened bread and roasted grain from the produce of the land.


12And the day after they had eaten from the produce of the land, the manna ceased. There was no more manna for the Israelites, so that year they began to eat the crops of the land of Canaan.


5:1 That is, along the Mediterranean coast; literally along the sea

5:1 Or until we had crossed over

5:2 Literally again the second time

5:3 Gibeath-haaraloth means the hill of the foreskins.

5:9 Gilgal sounds like the Hebrew for roll.
