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.
Jošua 5
Biblija: suvremeni hrvatski prijevod
5 Kad su amorejski kraljevi zapadno od rijeke Jordan, kao i svi kanaanski kraljevi uz Sredozemno more, čuli da je BOG isušio rijeku Jordan ispred Izraelaca sve dok je nisu prešli, klonuli su duhom i obeshrabrili se.
Obrezanje u Gilgalu
2 Tada je BOG rekao Jošui: »Napravi noževe od kamena kremena i ponovo obreži[a] Izraelce.«
3 Jošua je stoga načinio noževe od kremena i obrezao Izraelce na Brdu obrezanja[b]. 4 Učinio je to zato što su svi muškarci koji su bili izašli iz Egipta—svi oni sposobni za borbu—umrli tijekom puta kroz pustinju nakon izlaska iz Egipta. 5 Sav narod koji je izašao bio je obrezan, no oni koji su se rodili u pustinji, nisu bili obrezani. 6 Naime, Izraelci su četrdeset godina lutali pustinjom sve dok nisu umrli svi koji su bili sposobni za borbu. Budući da se nisu pokoravali BOGU, nije im dopustio da ugledaju zemlju koju je obećao njihovim precima, zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko. 7 Zbog toga su u nju ušli njihovi sinovi, a sad ih je Jošua obrezao jer to nisu činili na putu.
8 Nakon što su bili obrezani, ostali su u taboru sve dok se nisu oporavili.
Prva Pasha u Kanaanu
9 Potom je BOG rekao Jošui: »Danas sam s vas uklonio sramotu egipatskog ropstva.« Zato se to mjesto naziva Gilgal[c] sve do naših vremena.
10 Četrnaestog dana toga mjeseca, dok su još bili utaboreni u Gilgalu, na Jerihonskim poljanama, Izraelci su proslavili Pashu[d]. 11 Dan nakon Pashe jeli su plodove one zemlje: beskvasni kruh i prženo zrnje, a 12 dan nakon što su jeli plodove one zemlje, prestala je padati mana[e]. Više je nije bilo za Izraelce, nego su se te godine hranili plodovima kanaanske zemlje.
Zapovjednik Božje vojske
13 Jednom, kad je bio blizu Jerihona, Jošua pred sobom ugleda čovjeka s isukanim mačem u ruci. Prišao mu je i upitao ga: »Jesi li s nama ili s našim neprijateljima?«
14 A on mu je odgovorio: »Ja nisam neprijatelj, ja sam zapovjednik BOŽJE vojske. Upravo sam došao k tebi.«
Nato mu se Jošua naklonio do zemlje i upitao ga: »Što mi imaš reći, gospodaru?«
15 »Izuj obuću s nogu«, odgovorio mu je zapovjednik BOŽJE vojske, »jer je mjesto na kojem stojiš sveto«. Jošua je tako i učinio.
