06:005:006 For the children of Israel walked forty
years in the
wilderness,
till all the people that were men of war, which
came
out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not
the
voice
of the lord: unto whom the lord sware
that he would not
shew
them the land, which the lord sware unto their
fathers
that
he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and
honey.
06:005:007 And their children, whom he raised up in
their stead, them
Joshua
circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because
they
had
not circumcised them by the way.
06:005:008 And it came to pass, when they had done
circumcising all the
people,
that they abode in their places in the camp, till they
were
whole.
06:005:009 And the lord said unto Joshua, This
day have I rolled away the
reproach
of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the
place
is called Gilgal unto this day.
06:005:010 And the children of Israel encamped in
Gilgal, and kept the
passover
on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the
plains
of Jericho.
06:005:011 And they did eat of the old corn of the
land on the morrow
after
the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in
the
selfsame
day.
06:005:012 And the manna ceased on the morrow after
they had eaten of the
old
corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel
manna
any
more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of
Canaan
that
year.
06:005:013 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by
Jericho, that he
lifted
up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a
man
over
against him with his sword drawn in his hand:
and Joshua
went
unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for
our
adversaries?
06:005:014 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the
host of the lord am I
now
come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth,
and did
worship,
and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his
servant?
06:005:015 And the captain of the LORD’s host
said unto Joshua, Loose thy
shoe
from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest
is
holy.
And Joshua did so.
06:006:001 Now Jericho was straitly shut up because
of the children of
Israel:
none went out, and none came in.
06:006:002 And the lord said unto Joshua, See,
I have given into thine
hand
Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of
valour.
06:006:003 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men
of war, and go round
about
the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.
