1 Cuando todos los reyes amorreos al oeste del Jordán y todos los reyes cananeos que vivían junto al mar oyeron que el Señor había secado las aguas del Jordán delante de los hijos de Israel hasta que cruzaron, perdieron todo el valor y ya no tuvieron ánimo para enfrentarlos.
1 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 Yahweh had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.
2 En aquel tiempo el Señor dijo a Josué: «Haz cuchillos de piedra y circuncida de nuevo a los hijos de Israel».
2 At that time, Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
3 Josué hizo cuchillos de piedra y circuncidó a los hijos de Israel en Guibeat-haaralot.
3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 Josué hizo esto porque todos los hombres de guerra que habían salido de Egipto habían muerto en el desierto durante el viaje después de salir de Egipto.
4 This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.
5 Todos los hombres que salieron de Egipto habían sido circuncidados, pero los que nacieron en el desierto durante el viaje desde Egipto no lo habían sido.
5 For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.
6 Los hijos de Israel anduvieron por el desierto durante cuarenta años, hasta que murió toda la generación de hombres de guerra que había salido de Egipto, porque no obedecieron la voz del Señor. El Señor había jurado que no les permitiría ver la tierra que prometió a sus padres darnos, una tierra donde abundan la leche y la miel.
6 For 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 Yahweh’s voice. 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.
7 En lugar de ellos crecieron sus hijos, y Josué los circuncidó porque no habían sido circuncidados durante el viaje.
7 Their 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.
8 Después de que toda la nación fue circuncidada, permanecieron en el campamento hasta que se recuperaron.
8 When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
9 Entonces el Señor dijo a Josué: «Hoy he quitado de ustedes la vergüenza de Egipto». Por eso aquel lugar fue llamado Gilgal, nombre que conserva hasta hoy.
9 Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.
10 Los hijos de Israel acamparon en Gilgal y celebraron la Pascua el día catorce del mes, al atardecer, en las llanuras de Jericó.
10 The children of Israel encamped in Gilgal. They kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.
11 Al día siguiente de la Pascua comieron productos de la tierra: pan sin levadura y grano tostado. Lo comieron aquel mismo día.
11 They ate unleavened cakes and parched grain of the produce of the land on the next day after the Passover, in the same day.
12 El maná dejó de aparecer al día siguiente, cuando comenzaron a comer los productos de la tierra. Los hijos de Israel ya no tuvieron maná, sino que aquel año comieron de los productos de la tierra de Canaán.
12 The 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.
13 Cuando Josué estaba cerca de Jericó, alzó la vista y vio a un hombre de pie delante de él con una espada desenvainada en la mano. Josué se acercó y le preguntó: «¿Estás de nuestro lado o del lado de nuestros enemigos?».
13 When 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 enemies?”
14 Él respondió: «De ninguno. He venido como jefe del ejército del Señor». Entonces Josué cayó rostro en tierra en adoración y le preguntó: «¿Qué tiene que decir mi señor a su siervo?».
14 He said, “No; but I have come now as commander of Yahweh’s army.” Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and worshiped, and asked him, “What does my lord say to his servant?”
15 El jefe del ejército del Señor dijo a Josué: «Quítate las sandalias, porque el lugar donde estás es santo». Y Josué así lo hizo.
15 The prince of Yahweh’s army said to Joshua, “Take off your sandals, for the place on which you stand is holy.” Joshua did so.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
… Moses should give manna as food to the fathers, but Joshua wheat; as the first-fruits of life, a type of the body of Christ, as also the Scripture declares that the manna of the Lord ceased when the people had eaten wheat from the land. XX.
"And Joshua took knives of flints, in which to circumcise," that is, by which to circumcise, "the children of Israel." But let those who on this account take from the Holy Spirit His proper power, look to that which we read to have been spoken by the Lord, "The Spirit bloweth where It listeth." And as to what the Apostle …
