NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Joshua 5

Israel Is Circumcised

1

Now it cameh1961 about when allh3605 the kingsh4428 of the Amoritesh567 whoh834 were beyondh5676 the Jordanh3383 to the westh3220, and allh3605 the kingsh4428 of the  aCanaanitesh3669a whoh834 were by the seah3220,  bheardh8085 howh854h834 the LORDh3068 had driedh3001 up the watersh4325 of the Jordanh3383 beforeh4480h6440 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 untilh5704  1they had crossedh5674a, that their heartsh3824 meltedh4549, and there was noh3808 spirith7307 in them anyh5750 longerh5750 becauseh4480h6440 of the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478.

2

At that timeh6256 the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Joshuah3091, "Makeh6213a for yourself  aflinth6864 knivesh2719 and circumciseh4135 againh7725 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 the secondh8145 timeh8145."

3

So Joshuah3091 madeh6213a himself flinth6864 knivesh2719 and circumcisedh4135 the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 at  1Gibeath-haaralothh1389h6190.

4

Thish2088 is the reasonh1697 whyh834 Joshuah3091 circumcisedh4135 them:  aallh3605 the peopleh5971a who cameh3318 out of Egypth4714 who were malesh2145, allh3605 the menh376 of warh4421, diedh4191 in the wildernessh4057b along the wayh1870 after they cameh3318 out of Egypth4714.

5

For allh3605 the peopleh5971a who cameh3318 out were circumcisedh4135, but allh3605 the peopleh5971a who were bornh3209 in the wildernessh4057b along the wayh1870 as they cameh3318 out of Egypth4714 had not been circumcisedh4135.

6

For the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 walkedh1980  afortyh705 yearsh8141 in the wildernessh4057b, untilh5704 allh3605 the nationh1471, that is, the menh376 of warh4421 who cameh3318 out of Egypth4714,  1perishedh8552 becauseh834 they did not listenh8085 to the voiceh6963 of the LORDh3068,  bto whomh834 the LORDh3068 had swornh7650 that He would not let them seeh7200 the landh776 whichh834 the LORDh3068 had swornh7650 to their fathersh1 to giveh5414 us, a landh776 flowingh2100 with milkh2461 and honeyh1706.

7

Their childrenh1121 whom He raisedh6965 up in their placeh8478, Joshuah3091  1circumcisedh4135; for they were uncircumcisedh6189, becauseh3588 they had not circumcisedh4135 them along the wayh1870.

8

Now whenh3512c they had finishedh8552 circumcisingh4135 allh3605 the nationh1471, they remainedh3427 in their placesh8478 in the camph4264 untilh5704 they were  1healedh2421a.

9

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to Joshuah3091, "Todayh3117 I have rolledh1556 awayh1556  athe reproachh2781 of Egypth4714 from you." So the nameh8034 of that placeh4725 is calledh7121  1Gilgalh1537 to thish2088 dayh3117.

10

While the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 campedh2583 at Gilgalh1537  athey observedh6213a the Passoverh6453 on the eveningh6153 of the  bfourteenthh702h6240 dayh3117 of the monthh2320 on the deserth6160 plainsh6160 of Jerichoh3405.

11

On the  1dayh4283 afterh4283 the Passoverh6453, on  2that veryh6106 dayh3117, they ateh398 someh4480 of the produceh5669 of the landh776, unleavenedh4682 cakesh4682 and parchedh7033 grain.

12

 aThe mannah4478a ceasedh7673a on the  1dayh4283 afterh4283 they had eatenh398 someh4480 of the produceh8393 of the landh776, so that the sonsh1121 of Israelh3478 noh3808 longerh5750 hadh1961 mannah4478a, but they ateh398 someh4480 of the yieldh8393 of the landh776 of Canaanh3667a during that yearh8141.

13

Now it cameh1961 about when Joshuah3091 was by Jerichoh3405, that he liftedh5375 up his eyesh5869 and lookedh7200, and beholdh2009,  aa manh376 was standingh5975 oppositeh5048 him with his swordh2719 drawnh8025 in his handh3027, and Joshuah3091 wenth1980 to him and saidh559 to him, "Are you for us orh518 for our adversariesh6862c?"

14

He saidh559, "Noh3808; ratherh3588 I indeedh3588 comeh935 nowh6258 as captainh8269 of the hosth6635 of the LORDh3068." And Joshuah3091  afellh5307 on his faceh6440 to the earthh776, and bowedh7812 downh7812, and saidh559 to him, "Whath4100 has my lordh136 to sayh1696 to his servanth5650?"

15

The captainh8269 of the LORD'Sh3068 hosth6635 saidh559 to Joshuah3091, " aRemoveh5394 your sandalsh5275 from your feeth7272, for the placeh4725 whereh834h5921 you are standingh5975 is holyh6944." And Joshuah3091 didh6213a soh3651.
