Joshua 5

Gen Z: Joshua 5

1So, all the kings of the Amorites and Canaanites heard that the Lord dried up the Jordan for the Israelites, and they were shook, like, no rizz left in them.

2Then the Lord told Joshua to grab some sharp knives and get the Israelites circumcised again, no cap.

3Joshua made those sharp knives and circumcised the Israelites at the hill of the foreskins, fr.

4The reason Joshua did this? All the dudes from Egypt who were warriors died in the wilderness after they bounced from Egypt.

5Everyone who came out was circumcised, but the ones born in the wilderness? They weren’t circumcised, periodt.

6The Israelites wandered for forty years in the wilderness until all the warrior dudes from Egypt were gone 'cause they didn’t listen to the Lord, and He swore they wouldn’t see the promised land, a place flowing with milk and honey.

7Joshua circumcised their kids who took their place, 'cause they were uncircumcised since nobody did it on the way.

8After they finished circumcising everyone, they just chilled in the camp until they healed up, no cap.

9The Lord told Joshua, "Today I’ve rolled away the shame of Egypt from you," so that place is called Gilgal to this day.

10The Israelites set up camp in Gilgal and celebrated Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at night in the plains of Jericho.

11The next day after Passover, they ate the old corn of the land, unleavened cakes, and roasted corn, all that good stuff.

12The manna stopped showing up the day after they ate the old corn, and the Israelites had no more manna; they just ate the fruit of Canaan that year, lit.

13One time, when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a dude with a sword drawn, and he was like, "Are you with us or against us?"

14The dude said, "Nah, I’m the captain of the Lord’s army." Joshua hit the ground and worshiped, asking, "What’s good, my lord?"

15The captain said, "Take off your shoes; this place is holy." And Joshua was like, "Bet," and did it.

KJV: Joshua 5

1And 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.

2At that time the Lord said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

3And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

4And 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.

5Now 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.

6For 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.

7And 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.

8And 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.

9And 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.

10And 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.

11And 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.

12And 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.

13And 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?

14And 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?

15And 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.
