Then the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away (A)the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of the place is called (B)Gilgal[a] to this day.

10 Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover (C)on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho. 11 And they ate of the produce of the land on the day after the Passover, unleavened bread and [b]parched grain, on the very same day. 12 Then (D)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.

The Joy of Forgiveness

A Psalm of David. A [a]Contemplation.

32 Blessed is he whose (A)transgression is forgiven,
Whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord (B)does not [b]impute iniquity,
And (C)in whose spirit there is no deceit.

When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long.
For day and night Your (D)hand was heavy upon me;
My vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah
I acknowledged my sin to You,
And my iniquity I have not hidden.
(E)I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”
And You forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah

(F)For this cause everyone who is godly shall (G)pray to You
In a time when You may be found;
Surely in a flood of great waters
They shall not come near him.
(H)You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with (I)songs of deliverance. Selah

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
I will guide you with My eye.
Do not be like the (J)horse or like the mule,
Which have no understanding,
Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle,
Else they will not come near you.

10 (K)Many sorrows shall be to the wicked;
But (L)he who trusts in the Lord, mercy shall surround him.
11 (M)Be glad in the Lord and rejoice, you righteous;
And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!

16 (A)Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, (B)yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone (C)is in Christ, he is (D)a new creation; (E)old things have passed away; behold, all things have become (F)new. 18 Now all things are of God, (G)who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that (H)God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not [a]imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

20 Now then, we are (I)ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For (J)He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become (K)the righteousness of God in Him.
