Joshua 5
King James Version
5 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.
2 At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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.
7 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.
8 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.
9 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.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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?
14 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?
15 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.

Ang Pagtutuli
5 Nabalitaan ng lahat ng hari na Amoreo sa kanluran ng Jordan at ng lahat ng haring Cananeo sa baybayin ng Dagat ng Mediteraneo kung paanong pinatuyo ng Panginoon ang Ilog ng Jordan nang tumawid ang mga Israelita. Kaya natakot sila at naduwag sa pakikipaglaban sa mga Israelita.
2 Nang panahong iyon, sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, “Gumawa ka ng mga patalim na gawa sa bato, at tuliin ang mga Israelita.” (Ito ang ikalawang pagkakataon na tutuliin ang mga Israelitang hindi pa tuli.) 3 Kaya gumawa si Josue ng mga patalim, at tinuli ang mga lalaking Israelita roon sa lugar na tinawag na Bundok ng Pinagtulian.
4-6 Ito ang dahilan kung bakit tinuli ni Josue ang mga lalaki: Nang umalis ang mga Israelita sa Egipto, ang lahat ng lalaki ay natuli na. Pero ang mga isinilang sa loob ng 40 taon na paglalakbay nila sa ilang ay hindi pa natutuli. Nang panahong iyon, ang mga lalaking nasa tamang edad na para makipaglaban ay nangamatay dahil hindi sila sumunod sa Panginoon. Sinabi sa kanila ng Panginoon na hindi nila makikita ang maganda at masaganang lupain[a] na ipinangako niya sa mga ninuno nila. 7 Ang mga anak nilang lalaki na pumalit sa kanila ang tinuli ni Josue, dahil hindi pa sila tuli nang panahong naglalakbay sila. 8 Matapos silang matuli, nanatili sila sa mga kampo nila hanggang sa gumaling ang mga sugat nila.
9 At sinabi ng Panginoon kay Josue, “Sa araw na ito, inalis ko sa inyo ang kahihiyan ng pagiging alipin nʼyo sa Egipto.” Kaya ang lugar na iyon ay tinawag na Gilgal[b] hanggang ngayon.
10 Noong gabi nang ika-14 na araw ng unang buwan, habang nagkakampo pa ang mga Israelita sa Gilgal, sa Kapatagan ng Jerico, ipinagdiwang nila ang Pista ng Paglampas ng Anghel. 11 Kinaumagahan, kumain sila ng mga produkto ng lupaing iyon: binusang trigo at tinapay na walang pampaalsa. 12 Mula nang araw na iyon, tumigil na ang pagbagsak ng “manna”, at wala ng “manna” ang mga Israelita. Ang pagkain nila ay galing na sa inani sa lupain ng Canaan.
13 Nang malapit na si Josue sa Jerico, bigla niyang nakita ang isang lalaking nakatayo sa harap niya na may hawak na espada. Tinanong siya ni Josue, “Kakampi ka ba namin o kalaban?” 14 “Hindi,” sagot ng lalaki. “Naparito ako bilang pinuno ng mga sundalo ng Panginoon.” Nagpatirapa si Josue bilang paggalang sa kanya at nagtanong, “Ginoo, ano po ang gusto nʼyong ipagawa sa akin na inyong lingkod?” 15 Sumagot ang kumander ng mga sundalo ng Panginoon, “Hubarin mo ang sandalyas mo, dahil banal na lugar ang kinatatayuan mo.” At sinunod ni Josue ang iniutos sa kanya.
