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.

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.

The New Generation Circumcised
5 As soon as all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites (A)who were by the sea, (B)heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their hearts (C)melted and (D)there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel.
2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make (E)flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.” 3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.[a] 4 And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: (F)all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way after they had come out of Egypt. 5 Though all the people who came out had been circumcised, yet all the people who were born on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt had not been circumcised. 6 For the people of Israel walked (G)forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord; the Lord (H)swore to them that he would not let them see the land that the Lord had sworn to their fathers to give to us, (I)a land flowing with milk and honey. 7 So it was (J)their children, whom he raised up in their place, that Joshua circumcised. For they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
8 When the circumcising of the whole nation was finished, they remained in their places in the camp until they were healed. 9 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the (K)reproach of Egypt from you.” And so the name of that place is called (L)Gilgal[b] to this day.
First Passover in Canaan
10 While the people of Israel were encamped at Gilgal, they kept the Passover (M)on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening on the plains of Jericho. 11 And the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain. 12 And (N)the manna ceased the day after they ate of the produce of the land. And there was no longer manna for the people of Israel, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.
The Commander of the Lord's Army
13 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, (O)a man was standing before him (P)with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” 14 And he said, “No; but I am the commander of the army of the Lord. Now I have come.” And Joshua (Q)fell on his face to the earth and worshiped[c] and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” 15 And the commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, (R)“Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

여호수아 5

여호수아 5
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
이스라엘 사람들이 할례를 받다
5 이렇게 주께서 이스라엘 백성 앞에서 그들이 요단 강을 다 건너기까지 그 강물을 마르게 하셨다. 그 소식을 들은 요단 강 서쪽에 있는 아모리 사람의 모든 왕과 지중해 연안의 모든 가나안 왕의 심장이 녹아 버렸다. 그들은 감히 이스라엘 백성과 맞서 싸울 용기를 내지 못하였다.
2 그때에 주께서 여호수아에게 말씀하셨다. “부싯돌로 칼을 만들어 이스라엘 가운데 아직 할례를 받지 않은 남자들에게 다시[a] 할례를 베풀어라.” 3 그리하여 여호수아는 부싯돌로 칼을 만들어, 기브앗하아라롯[b]에서 이스라엘 남자들에게 할례를 베풀었다.
4 여호수아가 그들에게 할례를 베푼 까닭은 이러하다. 이집트에서 나온 이스라엘 백성 가운데 전쟁에 나가 싸울 수 있는 용사는 이집트를 떠나 광야를 지나는 동안에 모두 죽었다. 5 그런데 이집트에서 나온 백성은 모두 할례를 받았으나, 광야를 지나는 동안에 태어난 백성은 아무도 할례를 받지 못하였다. 6 이스라엘 백성이 사십 년 동안 광야를 이리저리 떠도는 동안 이집트에서 나온 용사들은 다 죽었다. 그들이 죽은 것은 그들이 주께 순종하지 않았기 때문이다. 주께서는 그들의 조상에게 주시마고 엄숙하게 약속하신 젖과 꿀이 흐르는 땅을, 그들은 보지 못하게 하시겠다고 다짐하셨다. 7 그리하여 주께서는 그들 대신에 그들의 후손을 일으키셨는데, 바로 이 사람들이 여호수아에게서 할례를 받았다. 그들은 광야를 떠도는 동안 할례를 받지 않았었다.
8 백성이 모두 할례를 받고 나서 상처가 다 아물 때까지 그들은 진을 치고 있던 곳에 그대로 머물렀다.
가나안에서의 첫 번째 유월절
9 그때에 하나님께서 여호수아에게 말씀하셨다. “너희가 이집트에서 받은 수치를 내가 오늘 다 없애 버렸다.” 그리하여 그곳은 지금까지도 길갈[c]이라 불리고 있다.
10 이스라엘 백성은 여리고 평원에 있는 길갈에 진을 치고 있는 동안 그 달 십사일 저녁에 유월절을 지켰다. 11 유월절 다음날에 그들은 그 땅에서 난 곡식을 먹었다. 그들이 먹은 것은 누룩을 넣지 않고 만든 빵과 볶은 곡식이었다. 12 그들이 그 땅에서 난 것을 먹은 다음 날 아침부터 만나가 그쳤다. 이스라엘 백성이 그 해에 가나안 땅에서 나는 곡식을 먹게 되자 더는 그들이 먹을 만나가 내리지 않았다.
13 여호수아가 여리고에 가까이 갔을 때에 눈을 들어 보니 한 남자가 손에 칼을 빼들고 앞에 서 있었다. 여호수아가 그에게 다가가서 물었다. “당신은 우리 편입니까? 아니면 우리 적의 편입니까?” 14 그 남자가 대답하였다. “그 어떤 편도 아니다. 나는 단지 주의 군대의 총사령관으로서 이곳에 왔다.” 그러자 여호수아가 땅에 얼굴을 대고 엎드리고 물었다. “내 주께서는 종에게 무슨 말씀을 전하려 하시는지요?” 15 그러자 주의 군대의 총사령관이 대답하였다. “네가 지금 서 있는 곳은 거룩하니 네 신을 벗어라.” 여호수아는 그가 시키는 대로 하였다.
