1And it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan heard, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel until they had crossed over, that their hearts melted and there was no longer any spirit in them before the sons of Israel.2At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make swords of flint for yourself and return; circumcise the sons of Israel a second time."3So Joshua made swords of flint for himself and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.4This is the reason Joshua circumcised all the people who came out of Egypt, the males: all the men of war had died in the wilderness on the way after they came out of Egypt.5Although all the people who came out had been circumcised, all the people born in the wilderness on the way after they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.6For the sons of Israel had walked in the wilderness forty years until all the nation, the men of war who came out of Egypt, had perished, because they had not obeyed the voice of the LORD; the LORD had sworn to them not to let them see the land he had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.7Their sons he raised up in their place, and Joshua circumcised them, because they were uncircumcised, since they had not been circumcised on the way.8When the whole nation had finished being circumcised, they remained in the camp where they were until they recovered.9The LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Therefore the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.10While the sons of Israel were camped at Gilgal they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening in the plains of Jericho.11On the day after the Passover they ate some of the produce of the land: unleavened bread and roasted grain.12The manna ceased the day after they ate the produce of the land, so that the sons of Israel no longer had manna; they ate the produce of the land of Canaan that year.
