여호수아 5

1요단 서편의 아모리 사람의 모든 왕과 해변의 가나안 사람의 모든 왕이 여호와께서 요단 물을 이스라엘 자손들 앞에서 말리시고 우리를 건네셨음을 듣고 마음이 녹았고 이스라엘 자손들의 연고로 정신을 잃었더라 2그때에 여호와께서 여호수아에게 이르시되 너는 부싯돌로 칼을 만들어 이스라엘 자손들에게 다시 할례를 행하라 하시매 3여호수아가 부싯돌로 칼을 만들어 할례산에서 이스라엘 자손들에게 할례를 행하니라 4여호수아가 할례를 시행한 까닭은 이것이니 애굽에서 나온 모든 백성 중 남자 곧 모든 군사는 애굽에서 나온 후 광야 노중에서 죽었는데 5그 나온 백성은 다 할례를 받았으나 오직 애굽에서 나온 후 광야 노중에서 난 자는 할례를 받지 못하였음이라 6이스라엘 자손들이 여호와의 말씀을 청종치 아니하므로 여호와께서 그들에게 대하여 맹세하사 그들의 열조에게 맹세하여 우리에게 주마 하신 땅 곧 젖과 꿀이 흐르는 땅을 그들로 보지 못하게 하리라 하시매 애굽에서 나온 족속 곧 군사들이 다 멸절하기까지 사십 년 동안을 광야에 행하였더니 7그들의 대를 잇게 하신 이 자손에게 여호수아가 할례를 행하였으니 길에서는 그들에게 할례를 행치 못하였으므로 할례 없는 자가 되었음이었더라 8온 백성에게 할례 행하기를 필하매 백성이 진중 각 처소에 처하여 낫기를 기다릴 때에 9여호와께서 여호수아에게 이르시되 내가 오늘날 애굽의 수치를 너희에게서 굴러가게 하였다 하셨으므로 그 곳 이름을 오늘까지 길갈이라 하느니라 10이스라엘 자손들이 길갈에 진 쳤고 그 달 십사일 저녁에는 여리고 평지에서 유월절을 지켰고 11유월절 이튿날에 그 땅 소산을 먹되 그 날에 무교병과 볶은 곡식을 먹었더니 12그 땅 소산을 먹은 다음 날에 만나가 그쳤으니 이스라엘 사람들이 다시는 만나를 얻지 못하였고 그 해에 가나안 땅의 열매를 먹었더라 13여호수아가 여리고에 가까웠을 때에 눈을 들어 본즉 한 사람이 칼을 빼어 손에 들고 마주 섰는지라 여호수아가 나아가서 그에게 묻되 너는 우리를 위하느냐 우리의 대적을 위하느냐 14그가 가로되 아니라 나는 여호와의 군대 장관으로 이제 왔느니라 여호수아가 땅에 엎드려 절하고 가로되 나의 주여 종에게 무슨 말씀을 하려 하시나이까 15여호와의 군대 장관이 여호수아에게 이르되 네 발에서 신을 벗으라 네가 선 곳은 거룩하니라 여호수아가 그대로 행하니라

1When 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 Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we had passed over, their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel. 2At that time, Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.” 3Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 4This is the reason Joshua circumcised: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt. 5For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised. 6For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the voice of Yahweh. Yahweh swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which Yahweh swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey. 7Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way. 8When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed. 9Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal, to this day. 10The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho. 11They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day. 12The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more; but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. 13When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man stood in front of him with his sword drawn in his hand. Joshua went to him, and said to him, “Are you for us, or for our adversaries?” 14He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?” 15The prince of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take your shoes off of your feet; for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.

1En het geschiedde, toen al de koningen der Amorieten, die aan deze zijde van de Jordaan westwaarts, en al de koningen der Kanaanieten, die aan de zee waren, hoorden, dat de HEERE de wateren van de Jordaan had uitgedroogd, voor het aangezicht der kinderen Israels, totdat wij daardoor gegaan waren; zo versmolt hun hart, en er was geen moed meer in hen, voor het aangezicht der kinderen Israels. 2Te dier tijd sprak de HEERE tot Jozua: Maak u stenen messen, en besnijd wederom de kinderen Israels ten tweeden maal. 3Toen maakte zich Jozua stenen messen, en besneed de kinderen Israels op den heuvel der voorhuiden. 4Dit nu was de oorzaak, waarom hen Jozua besneed: al het volk, dat uit Egypte getogen was, de manspersonen, alle krijgslieden, waren gestorven in de woestijn, op den weg, nadat zij uit Egypte getogen waren. 5Want al het volk, dat er uittoog, was besneden; maar al het volk, dat geboren was in de woestijn op den weg, nadat zij uit Egypte getrokken waren, hadden zij niet besneden. 6Want de kinderen Israels wandelden veertig jaren in de woestijn, totdat vergaan was het ganse volk der krijgslieden, die uit Egypte gegaan waren; die de stem des HEEREN niet gehoorzaam geweest waren, denwelken de HEERE gezworen had, dat Hij hun niet zoude laten zien het land, hetwelk de HEERE hun vaderen gezworen had ons te zullen geven, een land vloeiende van melk en honig. 7Maar hun zonen heeft Hij aan hun plaats gesteld; die heeft Jozua besneden, omdat zij de voorhuid hadden; want zij hadden hen op den weg niet besneden. 8En het geschiedde, als men een einde gemaakt had van al dat volk te besnijden, zo bleven zij in hun plaats in het leger, totdat zij genezen waren. 9Verder sprak de HEERE tot Jozua: Heden heb Ik den smaad van Egypte van ulieden afgewenteld; daarom noemde men den naam dier plaats Gilgal, tot op dezen dag. 10Terwijl de kinderen Israels te Gilgal gelegerd lagen, zo hielden zij het pascha op den veertienden dag derzelver maand, in den avond, op de vlakke velden van Jericho. 11En zij aten van het overjarige koren des lands, des anderen daags van het pascha, ongezuurde broden en verzengde aren, even op dienzelven dag. 12En het Manna hield op des anderen daags, nadat zij van des lands overjarige koren gegeten hadden; en de kinderen Israels hadden geen Manna meer, maar zij aten in hetzelve jaar van de inkomst des lands Kanaan. 13Voorts geschiedde het, als Jozua bij Jericho was, dat hij zijn ogen ophief, en zag toe, en ziet, er stond een Man tegenover hem, Die een uitgetogen zwaard in Zijn hand had. En Jozua ging tot Hem, en zeide tot Hem: Zijt Gij van ons, of van onze vijanden? 14En Hij zeide: Neen, maar Ik ben de Vorst van het heir des HEEREN: Ik ben nu gekomen! Toen viel Jozua op zijn aangezicht ter aarde en aanbad, en zeide tot Hem: Wat spreekt mijn Heere tot Zijn knecht? 15Toen zeide de Vorst van het heir des HEEREN tot Jozua: Trek uw schoenen af van uw voeten; want de plaats, waarop gij staat, is heilig. En Jozua deed alzo.
