¹It happened, 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 children of Israel, until we had passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.

¹Men da alle Amoriterkongerne vesten for Jordan og alle Kana'anæerkongerne ved Havet hørte, at HERREN havde ladet Jordans Vand tørre bort foran Israeliterne, indtil de var gået over, blev de slaget af Rædsel og tabte Modet over for Israeliterne.

²At that time, Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.”

²På den Tid sagde HERREN til Josua: "Lav dig Stenknive og omskær på ny Israeliterne!"

³Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

³Da lavede Josua sig Stenknive og omskar Israeliterne ved Forhudshøjen.

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.

⁴Og dette var Grunden til, at Josua omskar dem: Alt Mandkøn af Folket, som drog ud af Ægypten, alle våbenføre Mænd, var døde undervejs i Ørkenen, efter at de var draget ud af Ægypten.

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.

⁵Hele Folket, som drog ud, havde nok været omskåret, men af det Folk, som var født i Ørkenen under Vandringen, efter at de var draget ud af Ægypten, var ingen blevet omskåret;

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.

⁶thi i fyrretyve År havde Israeliterne vandret i Ørkenen, indtil hele Folket, de våbenføre Mænd, som var draget ud af Ægypten, var døde, fordi de ikke havde adlydt HERRENs Røst, hvorfor HERREN havde svoret, at han ikke vilde lade dem se det Land, HERREN havde tilsvoret deres Fædre at ville give os, et Land, der flyder med Mælk og Honning.

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.

⁷Men deres Børn, som han havde ladet træde i deres Sted, dem omskar Josua; thi de var uomskårne, eftersom de ikke var blevet omskåret under Vandringen.

⁸It happened, when they were done circumcising all the nation, that they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.

⁸Da så hele Folket var blevet omskåret, holdt de sig i Ro, hvor de var i Lejren, indtil de kom sig.

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, “Gilgal” sounds like the Hebrew for “roll.” to this day.

⁹Men HERREN sagde til Josua: "I Dag har jeg bortvæltet Ægypternes Forsmædelse fra eder." Og han kaldte dette Sted Gilgal, som det hedder den Dag i Dag.

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.

¹⁰Medens Israeliterne lå i Lejr i Gilgal, fejrede de Påsken om Aftenen den fjortende Dag i Måneden på Jerikos Sletter;

¹¹They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.

¹¹og Dagen efter Påsken spiste de af Landets Afgrøde, usyrede Brød og ristet Korn;

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.

¹²selv samme Dag hørte Mannaen op, da de nu spiste af Landets Afgrøde; Israeliterne fik ikke Manna mer, men spiste det År af Høsten i Kana'ans Land.

¹³It happened, when Joshua was by Jericho, that 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?”

¹³Og det skete, medens Josua opholdt sig ved Jeriko, at han så op og fik Øje på en Mand, som stod foran ham med draget Sværd i Hånden. Josua gik da hen til ham og sagde: "Er du en af vore eller en af vore Fjender?"

¹⁴He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshipped, and said to him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”

¹⁴Han svarede: "Ingen af Delene, jeg er Fyrsten over HERRENs Hær; lige nu er jeg kommet!" Da faldt Josua til Jorden på sit Ansigt og tilbad og sagde til ham: "Hvad har min Herre at sige sin Tjener?"

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.

¹⁵Og Fyrsten over HERRENs Hær svarede Josua: "Drag dine Sko af Fødderne, thi det Sted, du står på, er helligt!" Det gjorde Josua.
