CHAP. V.

1 The Canaanites are afraide of the 〈◊〉〈◊〉. 2 Circum∣cision is commanded the seconde 〈◊〉〈◊〉. 10 The 〈◊〉〈◊〉 〈◊〉〈◊〉 kept. 12 Manna ceaseth. 13 The Angel appeareth vnto Ioshúa.

1 NOw when al the Kings of thea 1.1 Amorites which were beyonde 〈◊〉〈◊〉 West ward and all the Kings of the Canaanites, whiche were by the Sea, heard that the Lord had dryed vp the waters of Iordén before the children of Israél vntill they were gone ouer their heart fainted: & there was no courage in them anie more because of the children of Israél.

2 ¶ That same time the Lord said vnto Ioshūa * Make thee sharpe kniues,b 1.2 (and) returne,* 1.3 and circumcise the sonnes of Israéll the se∣cond time.

3 Then Ioshúa made hym sharpes kniues and circumcised the sonnes of Israél inc 1.4 the hill of the foreskinnes.

4 And this is the cause why Ioshúa circumci∣sed al the people (euen) the males that came out of Egypt, because all the men of warre were dead in the wildernes by the way after they came out of Egypt.

5 For al the people that came out were circū∣cised: but all the people that were borne in the wildernes by the way after they came out of Egypt, wered 1.5 not circumcised.

6 For the childre of Israél walked fourty yeres in the wildernes, til al the people of the men of warre that came out of Egypt were con∣sumed, because they obeyed not the voyce of the Lorde: vnto whome the Lorde sware, that he wolde not shewe thē the land, * whi∣che* 1.6 the Lord had sworne vnto their fathers that he wolde giue vs, (euen) a land that sloweth with milke and honie.

7 So their sonnes whome he raised vp in their steade, Ioshúa circumcised: for they were vn circumcised, because they circumcised thē not by the way.

8 And when they had made an end of circun∣cising all the people, they abode in the pla∣ces in the campe til theye 1.7 were whole.

9 After, the Lord said vnto Ioshúa, This day I haue taken away thef 1.8 shame of Egypt from you: wherefore he called the name of that place Gilgál, vnto this day.

10 ¶ So the children of Israél abode in Gilgál, and kept the feast of the Passe ouer the four∣tenth day of the moneth at euē in the plaine of Ierichô.

11 And they did eat of the corne of the lād on the morow after the Passeouer, vnleauened bread, and parched corne in the same day.

12 And the Man ceased on the morowe after they had eaten of the corne of the land, ne∣ther had the childré of Israél Man anie more but did eat of the frute of the lād of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 that yere.

13 ¶ And when Ioshúa was by Ierichō, he lift vp his eyes and loked: and beholde there stode a * man against him, hauing a sworde* 1.9 drawen in his hand: and Ioshúa went vnto him, and said vnto him, Art thou on our side or on our aduersaries?

14 And he said, Nay, but (as) a captaine of the host of the Lord am I now come: thē: Ioshūa fel on his face to the earthe, andg 1.10 did wor∣ship, and said vnto him, What saith my Lorde vnto his seruant?

15 And the captaine of the Lords hoste said vn∣to

Ioshúa, * Lose thy shooe of thy fote: for* 1.11 the place whereon thou standeth, is holy, &* 1.12 Ioshúa did so.* 1.13
