Joshua 5:8-10
EasyEnglish Bible

8 All of the Israelite men were circumcised. Then they stayed there in Gilgal until they were strong again. 9 The Lord said to Joshua, ‘This shows that you are no longer ashamed to be slaves, as you were in Egypt. Today I have taken away your shame.’

So they called that place Gilgal, and it still has that name.[a]

10 The Israelite people ate the Passover meal on the evening of the 14th day of that month.[b] They did this while they were at Gilgal, near Jericho city.

Footnotes

  1. 5:9 Gilgal means ‘taken away’.
  2. 5:10 The Passover Festival was an important time when the Israelites ate a special meal. It helped them to remember how God had saved them. They had been slaves in Egypt. They remembered, too, how God had dried up the Red Sea. Then they could walk out of Egypt.
