约书亚记 5
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
迦南人聞風喪膽
5 在約旦河西,亞摩利人的眾王和靠近海邊迦南人的眾王,聽見耶和華怎樣使約旦河的水在以色列人面前乾了,直到他們都過河去,他們都心裡驚怕,因以色列人的緣故,勇氣全失。
以色列在吉甲行割禮
2 那時,耶和華對約書亞說:“你要製造火石刀,第二次給以色列人行割禮。” 3 約書亞就製造了火石刀,在包皮山那裡給以色列人行了割禮。 4 約書亞給以色列人行割禮的原因是這樣:所有從埃及出來的人民,就是所有能作戰的男丁,出埃及以後,都死在曠野的路上。 5 因為所有從埃及出來的人民都受過割禮;唯有從埃及出來以後,所有在曠野的路上出生的人民,都沒有受過割禮。 6 以色列人在曠野走了四十年,直到全國的人,就是從埃及出來能作戰的男丁,都滅盡了,因為他們不聽耶和華的話;耶和華曾經向他們起誓,必不容許他們看見耶和華向他們列祖起誓要賜給我們的地,就是流奶與蜜的地。 7 他們的子孫,就是耶和華興起來代替他們的,約書亞給他們行了割禮;這些人是未受割禮的人,因為他們在路上沒有受過割禮。 8 全國的人受了割禮之後,都住在營中自己的地方,直到痊愈。 9 耶和華對約書亞說:“我今日把埃及的恥辱從你們身上輥去了。”因此,那地方名叫吉甲(“吉甲”意即“輥”),直到今日。
以色列人守逾越節
10 以色列人在吉甲安營;正月十四日晚上,他們在耶利哥的平原守逾越節。 11 逾越節後次日,他們吃了那地的出產;就在那一天,吃了無酵餅和烘的穀物。
嗎哪停止降下
12 他們吃了那地的出產之後,第二天嗎哪就停止降下;以色列人不再有嗎哪了;那一年他們卻吃迦南地的出產。
約書亞與耶和華軍隊的元帥
13 約書亞走近耶利哥的時候,抬頭觀看,看見一個人站在他對面,手裡拿著拔出來的刀。約書亞走到他那裡,對他說:“你是我們的人,還是我們的仇敵呢?” 14 那人回答:“不是的;我現在來是作耶和華軍隊的元帥。”約書亞就臉伏在地,向他下拜,對他說:“我主有甚麼事要吩咐僕人呢?” 15 耶和華軍隊的元帥對約書亞說:“把你腳上的鞋脫下來,因為你站的地方是聖地。”約書亞就照著行了。
约书亚记 5
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
迦南人闻风丧胆
5 在约旦河西,亚摩利人的众王和靠近海边迦南人的众王,听见耶和华怎样使约旦河的水在以色列人面前干了,直到他们都过河去,他们都心里惊怕,因以色列人的缘故,勇气全失。
以色列在吉甲行割礼
2 那时,耶和华对约书亚说:“你要制造火石刀,第二次给以色列人行割礼。” 3 约书亚就制造了火石刀,在包皮山那里给以色列人行了割礼。 4 约书亚给以色列人行割礼的原因是这样:所有从埃及出来的人民,就是所有能作战的男丁,出埃及以后,都死在旷野的路上。 5 因为所有从埃及出来的人民都受过割礼;唯有从埃及出来以后,所有在旷野的路上出生的人民,都没有受过割礼。 6 以色列人在旷野走了四十年,直到全国的人,就是从埃及出来能作战的男丁,都灭尽了,因为他们不听耶和华的话;耶和华曾经向他们起誓,必不容许他们看见耶和华向他们列祖起誓要赐给我们的地,就是流奶与蜜的地。 7 他们的子孙,就是耶和华兴起来代替他们的,约书亚给他们行了割礼;这些人是未受割礼的人,因为他们在路上没有受过割礼。 8 全国的人受了割礼之后,都住在营中自己的地方,直到痊愈。 9 耶和华对约书亚说:“我今日把埃及的耻辱从你们身上辊去了。”因此,那地方名叫吉甲(“吉甲”意即“辊”),直到今日。
以色列人守逾越节
10 以色列人在吉甲安营;正月十四日晚上,他们在耶利哥的平原守逾越节。 11 逾越节后次日,他们吃了那地的出产;就在那一天,吃了无酵饼和烘的谷物。
吗哪停止降下
12 他们吃了那地的出产之后,第二天吗哪就停止降下;以色列人不再有吗哪了;那一年他们却吃迦南地的出产。
约书亚与耶和华军队的元帅
13 约书亚走近耶利哥的时候,抬头观看,看见一个人站在他对面,手里拿着拔出来的刀。约书亚走到他那里,对他说:“你是我们的人,还是我们的仇敌呢?” 14 那人回答:“不是的;我现在来是作耶和华军队的元帅。”约书亚就脸伏在地,向他下拜,对他说:“我主有甚么事要吩咐仆人呢?” 15 耶和华军队的元帅对约书亚说:“把你脚上的鞋脱下来,因为你站的地方是圣地。”约书亚就照着行了。
Joshua 5
1599 Geneva Bible
5 1 The Canaanites are afraid of the Israelites. 2 Circumcision is commanded the second time. 10 The passover is kept. 12 Manna ceaseth. 13 The Angel appeareth unto Joshua.
1 Now when all the Kings of the [a]Amorites, which were beyond 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 before the children of Israel until they were gone over, their hearts fainted: and there was no courage in them anymore because of the children of Israel.
2 ¶ That same time the Lord said unto Joshua, (A)Make thee sharp knives, [b]and return, and circumcise the sons of Israel the second time.
3 Then Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel in [c]the hill of the foreskins.
4 And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised all the people, even the males that came out of Egypt, because all the men of war were dead in the wilderness by the way after they came out of Egypt.
5 For all the people that came out, were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way after they came out of Egypt, were [d]not circumcised.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people of the men of war that came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: unto whom the Lord sware that he would not show them the land, (B)which the Lord had sworn unto their fathers, that he would give us, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
7 So their sons whom he raised up in their stead, Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they circumcised them not by the way.
8 And when they had made an end of circumcising all the people, they abode in the places in the camp till they [e]were whole.
9 After, the Lord said unto Joshua, This day I have taken away the [f]shame of Egypt from you: wherefore he called the name of that place, Gilgal, unto this day.
10 ¶ So the children of Israel abode in Gilgal, and kept the feast of the Passover the fourteenth day of the month at even, in the plain of Jericho.
11 And they did eat of the corn of the land, on the morrow after the Passover, unleavened bread, and parched corn in the same day.
12 And the Manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the corn of the land, neither had the children of Israel Manna anymore, but did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
13 ¶ And when Joshua was by Jericho, he lift up his eyes and looked: and behold, there stood a (C)man against him, having a sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou on our side, or on our adversaries?
14 And he said, Nay, but as a captain of the host of the Lord am I now come: then Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and [g]did worship, and said unto him, What saith the Lord unto his servant?
15 And the captain of the Lord’s host said unto Joshua, (D)Loose thy shoe of thy foot: for the place whereon thou standest, is holy: and Joshua did so.

Joshua 5
New International Version
5 Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast(A) heard how the Lord had dried up the Jordan before the Israelites until they[a] had crossed over, their hearts melted in fear(B) and they no longer had the courage to face the Israelites.
Circumcision and Passover at Gilgal
2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives(C) and circumcise(D) the Israelites again.” 3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath Haaraloth.[b]
4 Now this is why he did so: All those who came out of Egypt—all the men of military age(E)—died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt.(F) 5 All the people that came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not. 6 The Israelites had moved about in the wilderness(G) forty years(H) until all the men who were of military age when they left Egypt had died, since they had not obeyed the Lord. For the Lord had sworn to them that they would not see the land he had solemnly promised their ancestors to give us,(I) a land flowing with milk and honey.(J) 7 So he raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised. They were still uncircumcised because they had not been circumcised on the way. 8 And after the whole nation had been circumcised, they remained where they were in camp until they were healed.(K)
9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So the place has been called Gilgal[c](L) to this day.
10 On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month,(M) while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover.(N) 11 The day after the Passover, that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land:(O) unleavened bread(P) and roasted grain.(Q) 12 The manna stopped the day after[d] they ate this food from the land; there was no longer any manna for the Israelites, but that year they ate the produce of Canaan.(R)
The Fall of Jericho
13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man(S) standing in front of him with a drawn sword(T) in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”
14 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown(U) to the ground(V) in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord[e] have for his servant?”
15 The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.”(W) And Joshua did so.
