Penyunatan dan hari raya Paskah di Gilgal
5:1 Ketika semua raja orang Amori di sebelah barat sungai Yordan dan semua raja orang Kanaan di tepi laut mendengar, bahwa TUHAN telah mengeringkan air sungai Yordan di depan orang Israel, sampai mereka dapat menyeberang, tawarlah hati mereka dan hilanglah semangat mereka menghadapi orang Israel itu. 5:2 Pada waktu itu berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Yosua: "Buatlah pisau dari batu dan sunatlah lagi orang Israel itu, untuk kedua kalinya." 5:3 Lalu Yosua membuat pisau dari batu dan disunatnyalah orang Israel itu di Bukit Kulit Khatan. 5:4 Inilah sebabnya Yosua menyunat mereka: semua orang yang keluar dari Mesir, yakni yang laki-laki, semua prajurit, telah mati di padang gurun di tengah jalan, setelah mereka keluar dari Mesir. 5:5 Sebab, semua orang yang keluar dari Mesir itu telah bersunat, tetapi semua orang yang lahir di padang gurun dalam perjalanan sejak keluar dari Mesir, belum disunat. 5:6 Sebab empat puluh tahun lamanya orang Israel itu berjalan melalui padang gurun, sampai habis mati seluruh bangsa itu, yakni prajurit yang keluar dari Mesir, yang tidak mendengarkan firman TUHAN. Kepada mereka itu TUHAN telah bersumpah, bahwa Ia tidak akan mengizinkan mereka melihat negeri yang dijanjikan TUHAN dengan bersumpah kepada nenek moyang mereka akan memberikannya kepada kita, suatu negeri yang berlimpah-limpah susu dan madunya. 5:7 Tetapi anak-anak mereka yang telah dijadikan-Nya ganti mereka, mereka itulah yang disunat Yosua, sebab mereka belum bersunat, karena mereka tidak disunat dalam perjalanan. 5:8 Setelah seluruh bangsa itu selesai disunat, maka tinggallah mereka di tempatnya masing-masing di perkemahan itu, sampai mereka sembuh. 5:9 Dan berfirmanlah TUHAN kepada Yosua: "Hari ini telah Kuhapuskan cela Mesir itu dari padamu." Itulah sebabnya nama tempat itu disebut Gilgal sampai sekarang. 5:10 Sementara berkemah di Gilgal, orang Israel itu merayakan Paskah pada hari yang keempat belas bulan itu, pada waktu petang, di dataran Yerikho. 5:11 Lalu pada hari sesudah Paskah mereka makan hasil negeri itu, yakni roti yang tidak beragi dan bertih gandum, pada hari itu juga. 5:12 Lalu berhentilah manna itu, pada keesokan harinya setelah mereka makan hasil negeri itu. Jadi orang Israel tidak beroleh manna lagi, tetapi dalam tahun itu mereka makan yang dihasilkan tanah Kanaan. Panglima Balatentara TUHAN 5:13 Ketika Yosua dekat Yerikho, ia melayangkan pandangnya, dilihatnya seorang laki-laki berdiri di depannya dengan pedang terhunus di tangannya. Yosua mendekatinya dan bertanya kepadanya: "Kawankah engkau atau lawan?" 5:14 Jawabnya: "Bukan, tetapi akulah Panglima Balatentara TUHAN. Sekarang aku datang." Lalu sujudlah Yosua dengan mukanya ke tanah, menyembah dan berkata kepadanya: "Apakah yang akan dikatakan tuanku kepada hambanya ini?" 5:15 Dan Panglima Balatentara TUHAN itu berkata kepada Yosua: "Tanggalkanlah kasutmu dari kakimu, sebab tempat engkau berdiri itu kudus." Dan Yosua berbuat demikian.

5:1 So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who [were] on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who [were] by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.
5:2 At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time."
5:3 So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
5:4 And this [is] the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt [who were] males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.
5:5 For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.
5:6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people [who were] men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORDto whom the LORD swore that He would not show them the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, "a land flowing with milk and honey."
5:7 Then Joshua circumcised their sons [whom] He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
5:8 So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed.
5:9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, "This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.
5:10 Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho.
5:11 And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and parched grain, on the very same day.
5:12 Then the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the food of the land of Canaan that year.
5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, "[Are] You for us or for our adversaries?"
5:14 So He said, "No, but [as] Commander of the army of the LORD I have now come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, "What does my Lord say to His servant?"
5:15 Then the Commander of the LORD'S army said to Joshua, "Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand [is] holy." And Joshua did so.
