Joshua 5
New King James Version
The Second Generation Circumcised
5 So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, 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 from before the children of Israel until [a]we had crossed over, that [b]their heart melted; (C)and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.
2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make (D)flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.” 3 So Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at [c]the hill of the foreskins. 4 And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: (E)All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt. 5 For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised. 6 For the children of Israel walked (F)forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were [d]consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord—to whom the Lord swore that (G)He would not show them the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, (H)“a land flowing with milk and honey.” 7 Then Joshua circumcised (I)their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
8 So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp (J)till they were healed. 9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away (K)the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of the place is called (L)Gilgal[e] to this day.
10 Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover (M)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 [f]parched grain, on the very same day. 12 Then (N)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 Commander of the Army of the Lord
13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, (O)a Man stood opposite him (P)with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?”
14 So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.”
And Joshua (Q)fell on his face to the earth and (R)worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?”
15 Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, (S)“Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Библия, нов превод от оригиналните езици (с неканоничните книги)
Обрязване и Пасха в Галгал
5 (A)Когато всичките аморейски царе, които бяха отвъд Йордан на запад към Средиземно море, и всичките ханаански царе при морето чуха как Господ пресуши водите на Йордан пред израилтяните, докато те преминаваха, сърцата им се свиха и у тях вече не остана смелост пред Израилевите синове.
2 По това време Господ каза на Иисус: „Направи си остри каменни ножове и обрежи пак израилтяните.“ 3 Тогава Иисус си направи каменни ножове и обряза израилтяните на Хълма на обрязването. 4 И тази е причината, че Иисус ги обряза: всички мъже, които излязоха от Египет, всички бойци бяха родени в пустинята по пътя след излизането им от Египет. 5 Всъщност целият народ, който излезе от Египет, беше обрязан, а всички, родени по пътя в пустинята след излизането от Египет, не бяха обрязани. 6 (B)Защото израилтяните четиридесет[a] години ходиха по пустинята, докато измряха всички бойци, които бяха излезли от Египет, които не послушаха гласа на Господа и на които Господ се закле, че няма да видят земята, която Господ с клетва беше обещал на бащите им да даде – земята, където текат мед и мляко. 7 А вместо тях Той издигна синовете им. Тях Иисус обряза, тъй като бяха необрязани, понеже не ги бяха обрязали по пътя.
8 След като накрая целият народ беше обрязан, те останаха в лагера, докато се възстановят. 9 Тогава Господ каза на Иисус: „Днес Аз снех от вас египетския позор.“ Затова името на онова място до днес е Галгал.
10 (C)И Израилевите синове бяха на лагер в Галгал и извършиха Пасха на Йерихонските полета вечерта на четиринадесетия ден от месеца. 11 И на другия ден след Пасхата започнаха да ядат от плодовете на земята – безквасни хлябове и печени зърна в същия ден. 12 (D)А манната престана след това. Когато започнаха да ядат от плодовете на земята, нямаше повече манна за Израилевите синове. Те ядяха от плодовете на ханаанската земя през онази година.
Превземане на Йерихон и спасяване на Раав
13 (E)И когато Иисус беше при Йерихон, вдигна очи и видя, ето пред него стоеше мъж с изваден меч в ръка. Иисус отиде към него и го попита: „Наш ли си или от неприятелите ни?“ 14 (F)Той отговори: „Не! Като вожд на войнството на Господа аз сега дойдох!“ Иисус падна по лице до земята, поклони му се и му каза: „Какво ще заповяда моят господар на своя служител?“ 15 (G)А вождът на войнството на Господа каза на Иисус: „Събуй сандалите от краката си, защото мястото, на което стоиш, е свято.“ Иисус така инаправи.

Joshua 5
Living Bible
5 When the nations west of the Jordan River—the Amorites and Canaanites who lived along the Mediterranean coast—heard that the Lord had dried up the Jordan River so the people of Israel could cross, their courage melted away completely and they were paralyzed with fear.
2-3 The Lord then told Joshua to set aside a day to circumcise the entire male population of Israel. (It was the second time in Israel’s history that this was done.) The Lord instructed them to manufacture flint knives for this purpose. The place where the circumcision rite took place was named “The Hill of the Foreskins.” 4-5 The reason for this second circumcision ceremony was that although when Israel left Egypt all of the men who had been old enough to bear arms had been circumcised, that entire generation had died during the years in the wilderness, and none of the boys born since that time had been circumcised. 6 For the nation of Israel had traveled back and forth across the wilderness for forty years until all the men who had been old enough to bear arms when they left Egypt were dead; they had not obeyed the Lord, and he vowed that he wouldn’t let them enter the land he had promised to Israel—a land that “flowed with milk and honey.” 7 So now Joshua circumcised their children—the men who had grown up to take their fathers’ places.
8-9 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have ended your shame of not being circumcised.”[a] So the place where this was done was called Gilgal (meaning, “to end”), and is still called that today. After the ceremony the entire nation rested in camp until the raw flesh of their wounds had been healed.
10 While they were camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, they celebrated the Passover during the evening of April first.[b] 11-12 The next day they began to eat from the gardens and grain fields which they invaded, and they made unleavened bread. The following day no manna fell, and it was never seen again! So from that time on they lived on the crops of Canaan.
13 As Joshua was sizing up the city of Jericho, a man appeared nearby with a drawn sword. Joshua strode over to him and demanded, “Are you friend or foe?”
14 “I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Lord’s army,” he replied.
Joshua fell to the ground before him and worshiped him and said, “Give me your commands.”
15 “Take off your shoes,” the Commander told him, “for this is holy ground.” And Joshua did.
