06:004:015 And the lord spake unto Joshua, saying,
06:004:016 Command the priests that bear the ark of
the testimony, that
they
come up out of Jordan.
06:004:017 Joshua therefore commanded the priests,
saying, Come ye up out
of
Jordan.
06:004:018 And it came to pass, when the priests that
bare the ark of the
covenant
of the lord were come up out of the midst of Jordan,
and
the soles of the priests’ feet were lifted up
unto the dry
land,
that the waters of Jordan returned unto their place,
and
flowed
over all his banks, as they did before.
06:004:019 And the people came up out of Jordan on
the tenth day of the
first
month, and encamped in Gilgal, in the east border of
Jericho.
06:004:020 And those twelve stones, which they took
out of Jordan, did
Joshua
pitch in Gilgal.
06:004:021 And he spake unto the children of Israel,
saying, When your
children
shall ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What
mean
these stones?
06:004:022 Then ye shall let your children know, saying,
Israel came over
this
Jordan on dry land.
06:004:023 For the lord your God dried up the
waters of Jordan from
before
you, until ye were passed over, as the lord your
God
did
to the Red sea, which he dried up from before us, until
we
were
gone over:
06:004:024 That all the people of the earth might
know the hand of the
lord,
that it is mighty: that ye might fear the lord
your God
for
ever.
06:005:001 And it came to pass, when all the kings
of the Amorites, which
were
on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of
the
Canaanites,
which were by the sea, heard that the lord had
dried
up the waters of Jordan from before the children of
Israel,
until we were passed over, that their heart melted,
neither
was there spirit in them any more, because of the
children
of Israel.
06:005:002 At that time the lord said unto Joshua,
Make thee sharp
knives,
and circumcise again the children of Israel the second
time.
06:005:003 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised
the children
of
Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
06:005:004 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise:
All the
people
that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the
men
of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they
came
out
of Egypt.
06:005:005 Now all the people that came out were circumcised:
but all the
people
that were born in the wilderness by the way as they
came
forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
