Circumcising the males and celebrating ‘pass-over’ at Gilgal

5:2 Circumcising the males and celebrating ‘pass-over’ at Gilgal

2At that time, Yahweh told Yehoshua, “Make yourself flint knives and again circumcise the male Israelis.” 3So Yehoshua had flint knives made and the male Israelis were circumcised at a place they named ‘The hill of foreskins’. 4(This was done because all the men who’d left Egypt and who were old enough to join the army had been circumcised but had died in the wilderness since then,[ref] 5and because all the boys who’d been born while they were in the wilderness after they’d left Egypt hadn’t been circumcised. 6The Israelis have spent forty years moving around the wilderness until the last of those men who’d left Egypt but hadn’t listened to Yahweh had died. Yahweh had promised not to let them see the land that he’d promised to their ancestors to give them—a land flowing with milk and honey. 7It was the sons of those people that Yehoshua had circumcised this time because they hadn’t been circumcised on the way.)

8After all their males had been circumcised, they remained in that camp until they’d healed up. 9Then Yahweh told Yehoshua, “Today I’ve rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from you,” and that place is named Gilgal[fn] until this day.

10In the evening of the fourth day that the people had been camped at Gilgal there on the plains near Yericho, they celebrated the ‘pass-over’.[ref]


5:9 The name ‘Gilgal’ (‘גִּלְגָּל’, ‘circle’) sounds like ‘galal’ (‘גַּלַל’, ‘roll’).


5:6: Num 14:28-35.

5:10: Exo 12:1-13.
