Joshua 5:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 5:8

6 For the children of Israel walked ^aforty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who came out of Egypt, were¹ consumed, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord—to whom the Lord swore that ^bHe would not show them the land which the Lord had sworn to their fathers that He would give us, ^c“a land flowing with milk and honey.”

7 Then Joshua circumcised ^atheir sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

8 So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp ^atill they were healed.

9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away ^athe reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of the place is called ^bGilgal to this day.

10 Now the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover ^aon the fourteenth day of the month at twilight on the plains of Jericho.
