King James Version, Updated™

(1) It came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had crossed over, that their heart melted, neither was there any spirit in them anymore, because of the children of Israel.

(2) At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make for yourself sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time."

(3) So Joshua made for himself sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

(4) And this is why Joshua circumcised them: All the people that came out of Egypt, who were males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

(5) Now all the people who came out were circumcised, but all the people who were born in the wilderness on the way after they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.

(6) For the children of Israel walked 40 years in the wilderness, until all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the LORD; to whom the LORD swore that he would not show them the land, which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land that flows with milk and honey.

(7) So their children, whom he raised up in their place, those are who Joshua circumcised; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

(8) And it came to pass, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp, until they recovered.

(9) Then the LORD said to Joshua, "This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off YOU." Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

(10) The children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the 14th day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.

(11) And they ate of the old corn of the land on the next day after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn on the very same day.

(12) The manna ceased on the next day after they had eaten of the old corn of the land, and the children of Israel no longer ate manna, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

(13) It came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man opposite him 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) And he said, "No; but as captain of the army of the LORD I now come." So Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, "What does my lord say to his servant?"

(15) And the captain of the LORD’S army said to Joshua, "Remove your shoe from off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so.
