Ang Pagtuli
5 Nabalitaan sa tanang mga hari nga Amorihanon sa kasadpan sa Jordan ug sa tanang mga hari nga Canaanhon sa kabaybayonan sa Dagat sa Mediteraneo kon giunsa pagpamala sa Ginoo ang Suba sa Jordan sa dihang mitabok ang mga Israelinhon. Busa nahadlok sila ug nawad-ag kaisog sa pagpakiggira sa mga Israelinhon.
2 Niadtong higayona miingon ang Ginoo kang Josue, “Paghimog mga kutsilyo gikan sa batong bantilis ug pagpanuli sa ikaduhang higayon sa mga Israelinhon.” 3 Busa naghimo si Josue ug mga kutsilyo, ug gipangtuli ang mga Israelinhon didto sa Bungtod sa Gitulian.
4-6 Mao kini ang hinungdan kon nganong gipangtuli ni Josue ang mga lalaki: Sa dihang mihawa ang mga Israelinhon sa Ehipto, ang tanang mga lalaki natuli na. Apan ang mga nangatawo sulod sa 40 ka tuig nga paglakaw nila sa kamingawan wala matuli. Ug niadtong panahona, ang mga lalaki nga anaa sa hustong edad sa pagpakiggira nangamatay tungod kay wala sila mituman sa Ginoo. Giingnan sila sa Ginoo nga dili gayod nila makita ang maayo ug mabungahon nga yuta[a] nga iyang gisaad ngadto sa ilang mga katigulangan nga ihatag kanila. 7 Ang ilang mga anak nga lalaki nga mipuli kanila maoy gipangtuli ni Josue, kay wala kini sila matuli niadtong panahon sa ilang paglakaw. 8 Human sila matuli, nagpabilin sila sa ilang kampo hangtod nga naayo sila.
9 Unya miingon ang Ginoo kang Josue, “Karong adlawa gikuha ko gikan kaninyo ang kaulawan sa inyong pagkaulipon sa Ehipto.” Busa kadtong dapita gitawag nga Gilgal[b] hangtod karon.
10 Samtang nagkampo ang mga Israelinhon sa Gilgal, sa kapatagan sa Jerico, gisaulog nila ang Pista sa Paglabay sa Anghel sa gabii sa ika-14 nga adlaw sa unang bulan. 11 Pagkaugma, nangaon sila sa mga abot gikan niadtong yutaa: sinanlag nga trigo ug pan nga walay patubo. 12 Sukad niadto miundang na ang pagpangahulog sa manna, ug wala nay manna ang mga Israelinhon. Ang ilang pagkaon sukad niadtong tuiga mao na ang mga abot gikan sa yuta sa Canaan.
13 Samtang didto si Josue duol sa Jerico, may nakita siyang tawo nga nagatindog sa iyang atubangan nga nagkupot ug espada. Gipangutana siya ni Josue, “Kaabin ka ba namo o kaaway?” 14 Mitubag ang tawo, “Dili ninyo ako kaabin o kaaway. Mianhi ako dinhi ingon nga pangulo sa kasundalohan sa Ginoo.” Mihapa si Josue sa pagtahod ug unya nangutana kaniya, “Sir, unsay gusto nimong isugo kanako nga imong alagad?” 15 Mitubag ang pangulo sa kasundalohan sa Ginoo, “Huboa ang imong sandalyas, kay balaan nga dapit ang imong gibarogan.” Ug gituman ni Josue ang gisugo kaniya.

The Voice
5 When the kings of the Amorites, who lived in the hills west of the Jordan, and the kings of the Canaanite cities on the plain by the sea heard how the Eternal had dried up the waters of the Jordan so the Israelites could cross, they were alarmed, and their courage failed at the thought of the advancing Israelites.
2 At that time, the Eternal One commanded Joshua to make flint knives and reinstate the rite of circumcision for male Israelites. 3 So Joshua made flint knives as he was told to do, and the Israelite males were circumcised at Gibeath-haaraloth.[a] 4-5 This is because all of the male Israelites who had fled from Egypt and all their soldiers who had fought so bravely had been circumcised, but they had died on the long journey. And those who had been born during the journey had not yet been circumcised.
Circumcision—the ritual removal of a male’s foreskin, usually in infancy—is one of the ways God tells His people to distinguish themselves from those around them. This rite is carried out at this point in the story to reconfirm the Israelites’ identity as God’s people and to prepare them for the greatest celebration that marks them as God’s people—the Passover—which commemorates God bringing them safely out of slavery in Egypt.
6 The Israelites had wandered in the wilderness for 40 years, and because they would not listen to the voice of the Eternal, God promised that none of the original community would live to enter the land He promised to their ancestors, a land flowing with milk and honey. 7 It was their children and grandchildren whom He raised up to receive that land instead. Joshua circumcised those sons and grandsons now because it had not been done previously. 8 When they all had been circumcised, they remained in their camp until their wounds were healed.
9 It was here, where they had piled up the stones, that the Eternal spoke to Joshua.
Eternal One: On this day I have rolled away from you the shame of Egypt.
And the place is called Gilgal, which means “circle of stones,” even today.
10 While the Israelites were encamped at Gilgal on the desert plain east of Jericho, they celebrated their first Passover on the evening of the 14th of the month in the land the Lord had promised them; 11 and the next day they ate some produce of the land, roasted grain, and flatbread. 12 Beginning after that Passover, the Israelites were no longer fed with manna, as they were in the desert. From the day they ate from the new land, the manna ceased. From then on they ate only the crops of the land of Canaan.
13 Now when Joshua was traveling near the city of Jericho, he saw a man standing in front of him with a sword drawn and ready.
Joshua (stepping toward him): Are you one of us, or are you one of our enemies?
The Man: 14 Neither; I am here now as commander of the Eternal’s army.
Joshua (falling to the ground): What is your command for your servant, my lord?
The Man: 15 Take off your sandals, for you are on holy ground.
So Joshua did.

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.

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.
