2. Then the Lord told Joshua, “Make some knives out of flint and circumcise the Israelites.”
3. So Joshua did as the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the Israelites at a place called Circumcision Hill.
7. The sons of these men had never been circumcised, and it was this new generation that Joshua circumcised.
8. After the circumcision was completed, the whole nation stayed in the camp until the wounds had healed.
9. The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have removed from you the disgrace of being slaves in Egypt.” That is why the place was named Gilgal, the name it still has.
10. While the Israelites were camping at Gilgal on the plain near Jericho, they observed Passover on the evening of the fourteenth day of the month.
11. The next day was the first time they ate food grown in Canaan: roasted grain and bread made without yeast.
12. The manna stopped falling then, and the Israelites no longer had any. From that time on they ate food grown in Canaan.
