Josué 5 - Bíblia Online

Quando as nações da banda ocidental do Jordão - os amorreus, mais os cananeus, que viviam, estes últimos, na costa do Mediterrâneo - ouviram que o Senhor tinha secado o rio Jordão para que o povo de Israel pudesse passar, foi-se-lhes o alento, completamente, e ficaram paralisados de terror. 
O Senhor disse a Josué que reservasse um dia para circuncidar a população masculina de Israel. O Senhor deu-lhes instruções para fazerem facas de pedra, próprias para esse fim. O local onde o rito da circuncisão teve lugar foi chamado A Colina dos Prepúcios. 
A razão desta segunda cerimónia da circuncisão foi a seguinte: é que apesar de todos os homens que saíram do Egipto com idade de pegarem em arma terem sido circuncidados, toda essa geração morrera durante a travessia do deserto e nenhum dos rapazes nascidos depois tinha passado por esse rito. Porque a nação de Israel percorrera o deserto, andando em várias direcções durante quarenta anos até que todos os homens em idade de serviço de combate na altura em que deixaram o Egipto morreram; visto que não tinham obedecido ao Senhor, o qual lhes dissera que não haveriam de entrar na terra que prometera a Israel - uma terra onde brotam o leite e o mel. Foi pois essa a razão porque Josué circuncidou os filhos deles- os homens que tinham crescido para tomarem o lugar dos seus pais. 
E o Senhor disse a Josué: Hoje pus fim à vergonha de não serem cicuncidados. Assim, o local em que isto foi feito chamou-se Gilgal , e assim é chamado até hoje. Após a cerimónia, a nação inteira repousou no acampamento até que as feridas sarassem. 
Enquanto estavam acampados ali em Gilgal nas campinas do Jordão, celebraram a Páscoa durante a noite do dia catorze do mês. No dia seguinte começaram a comer da fruta e dos cereais dos campos que invadiram, tendo feito pães sem fermento. Passado mais um dia, o maná deixou de cair e nunca mais ninguém o achou. Portanto, a partir dessa altura eles passaram a comer das searas de Canaã. 
Numa ocasião em que Josué estava perto da cidade de Jericó apareceu-lhe um homem junto dele com uma espada desembainhada. Josué avançou para ele e perguntou: És amigo ou inimigo? 
Sou o comandante do exército do Senhor.Josué caiu por terra perante ele, adorou-o e disse-lhe: Dá-me as tuas ordens. 
Descalça-te porque este solo é santo. E Josué obedeceu. 

And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were beyond the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, who were by the sea, heard how that Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the sons of Israel, until we had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them anymore, because of the sons of Israel. 
At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, Make for yourself knives of flint, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time. 
And Joshua made for himself knives of flint, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 
And this is the cause why Joshua circumcised: all the people who came forth out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came forth out of Egypt. 
For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, they had not circumcised. 
For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, even the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, was consumed, because they didn't listen to the voice of Yahweh: to whom Yahweh swore that he would not let them see the land which Yahweh swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey. 
And their sons, whom he raised up in their stead, Joshua circumcised them: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way. 
And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the nation, that they remained in their places in the camp, until they were whole. 
And Yahweh said to Joshua, This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you{+}. Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to this day. 
And the sons of Israel encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho. 
And they ate of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain, in the very same day. 
And the manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land; neither had the sons of Israel manna anymore; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. 
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw that there stood a man across from 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? 
And he said, No; but [as] prince of the host of Yahweh I have now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, What does my lord say to his slave? 
And the prince of Yahweh's host said to Joshua, Put off your sandal from off your foot; for the place on which you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.
