RF JOS 5:1 (B.C. 1451) Terror of the Kings of Canaan.
But when all the kings of the Amorites who are beyond the Jordan towards the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were along the sea, heard how the EVER-LIVING had caused the waters of the Jordan to dry before the children of Israel, until they had passed over, their hearts melted, and there was no spirit left in them before the children of Israel.
RF JOS 5:2 Joshua's circumcision of the people with stone knives.
At this time the EVER-LIVING said to Joshua, "Make for yourself stone knives, and remove the foreskin of the children of Israel again."
RF JOS 5:3 So Joshua prepared stone knives and circumcised the children of Israel at the Hill of Circumcision.
RF JOS 5:4 And this event was Joshua's circumcision.1 All the full-grown who came out from among the Mitzeraim,—the men of military age,—died in the desert on the journey coming from Mitzeraim,
RF JOS 5:5 for all the people who came out were circumcised—but all the people who were born in the desert during the journey from Mitzeraim, were not circumcised.
RF JOS 5:6 For the children of Israel travelled for forty years in the desert until all the generation of men of military age, who came out of Mitzeraim, had died, because they would not listen to the voice of the EVER-LIVING; so the EVER-LIVING swore to them that they should not see the country which He had promised to Abraham to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
RF JOS 5:7 Therefore Joshua circumcised the children that had grown up after them, for they were foreskinned, because they had not been circumcised during the journey.
RF JOS 5:8 But whilst they were completing the circumcision of all the nation they kept quiet in the camp until they were restored.

1 Note on v. 2 ch. 5. May not the flint knives found in ancient graves be those used by tribes who also practiced circumcision, and not knives for domestic use, as archaeologists imagine?—F.F.
RF JOS 5:9 Then the EVER-LIVING said to Joshua, "to-day I have rolled away the reproach of Mitzeraim from off you," therefore the name of that place is called Gilgal,1 to this day.
RF JOS 5:10 The Passover Celebrated.
The children of Israel afterwards camped in Gilgal and sacrificed the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, after passing the fords of Jeriko,
RF JOS 5:11 and they ate cakes from the corn of the land the day after the Passover, and baked oats the same day,
RF JOS 5:12 and the mana ceased from the morning they ate of the corn of the land, and the children of Israel never again had mana, but they ate the produce of the land of Canaan from that year.
RF JOS 5:13 While Joshua was resting near Jeriko, he raised his eyes, and saw a man stand near him, with a drawn sword in his hand. So Joshua went to him and asked, "Are you our enemy or no?
RF JOS 5:14 "When he replied; "No! for I am the Chief of the Army of the EVER-LIVING who have come to you." Then Joshua bowed his face to the earth and paid him reverence, and said; "What would my master say to his servant?"
RF JOS 5:15 And the Chief of the EVER-LIVING'S Army replied to Joshua, "Put your shoes from off your feet, for the place you stand upon, is Holy;" and Joshua did so.
