Notes on this text (2)
- The Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew, not from the Septuagint read in the Orthodox Church; there are no deuterocanonical books.
- Katharevousa (learned 19th-century Greek), as in the CrossWire module (text from theword.gr).
1 Και ότε ήκουσαν πάντες οι βασιλείς των Αμορραίων, οι πέραν του Ιορδάνου προς δυσμάς, και πάντες οι βασιλείς των Χαναναίων, οι παρά την θάλασσαν, ότι ο Κύριος απεξήρανε τα ύδατα του Ιορδάνου απ' έμπροσθεν των υιών Ισραήλ εωσού διέβησαν, διελύθησαν αι καρδίαι αυτών· και δεν έμεινε πλέον εις αυτούς πνοή, από του φόβου των υιών Ισραήλ.
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 Κατ' εκείνον τον καιρόν είπεν ο Κύριος προς τον Ιησούν, Κάμε εις σεαυτόν λιθίνας μαχαίρας κοπτεράς, και περίτεμε εκ δευτέρου τους υιούς Ισραήλ.
2 At that time, Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
3 Και έκαμεν ο Ιησούς εις εαυτόν λιθίνας μαχαίρας κοπτεράς, και περιέτεμε τους υιούς Ισραήλ επί του βουνού των ακροβυστιών.
3 Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 Και η αιτία, διά την οποίαν ο Ιησούς έκαμε την περιτομήν, είναι ότι πας ο λαός ο εξελθών εξ Αιγύπτου, τα αρσενικά, πάντες οι άνδρες του πολέμου, απέθανον εν τη ερήμω καθ' οδόν, αφού εξήλθον εξ Αιγύπτου.
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 Και πας ο λαός ο εξελθών ήτο περιτετμημένος· πας δε ο λαός όστις εγεννήθη εν τη ερήμω καθ' οδόν, αφού εξήλθον εξ Αιγύπτου, δεν είχε περιτμηθή.
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 Διότι τεσσαράκοντα έτη περιήρχοντο οι υιοί Ισραήλ εν τη ερήμω, εωσού ετελεύτησαν πας ο λαός, οι άνδρες του πολέμου, οι εξελθόντες εξ Αιγύπτου, επειδή δεν υπήκουσαν εις την φωνήν του Κυρίου· προς τους οποίους ο Κύριος ώμοσεν, ότι δεν θέλει αφήσει αυτούς να ίδωσι την γην, την οποίαν ώμοσεν ο Κύριος προς τους πατέρας αυτών ότι θέλει δώσει εις ημάς, γην ρέουσαν γάλα και μέλι.
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 Αντί δε τούτων αντικατέστησε τους υιούς αυτών, τους οποίους ο Ιησούς περιέτεμε· διότι ήσαν απερίτμητοι, επειδή δεν είχον περιτέμει αυτούς καθ' οδόν.
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 Και αφού ετελείωσαν περιτέμνοντες πάντα τον λαόν, εκάθηντο εις τους τόπους αυτών εν τω στρατοπέδω, εωσού ιατρεύθησαν.
8 When they were done circumcising the whole nation, they stayed in their places in the camp until they were healed.
9 Και είπε Κύριος προς τον Ιησούν, Ταύτην την ημέραν αφήρεσα αφ' υμών τον ονειδισμόν της Αιγύπτου. Διά τούτο ωνομάσθη ο τόπος εκείνος Γάλγαλα έως της σήμερον.
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 Και οι υιοί Ισραήλ εστρατοπέδευσαν εν Γαλγάλοις και έκαμον το πάσχα τη δεκάτη τετάρτη του μηνός προς το εσπέρας, εις τας πεδιάδας της Ιεριχώ.
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 Και τη επαύριον του πάσχα έφαγον άζυμα από του σίτου της γης, και σίτον πεφρυγμένον την αυτήν εκείνην ημέραν.
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 Και τη επαύριον αφού έφαγον από του σίτου της γης, εξέλιπε το μάννα· και δεν είχον πλέον μάννα οι υιοί Ισραήλ, αλλ' έτρωγον από των γεννημάτων της γης Χαναάν τον ενιαυτόν εκείνον.
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 Και ότε ο Ιησούς ήτο πλησίον της Ιεριχώ, ύψωσε τους οφθαλμούς αυτού και είδε, και ιδού, ίστατο κατέναντι αυτού άνθρωπος και η ρομφαία αυτού ήτο γεγυμνωμένη εν τη χειρί αυτού· και προσελθών ο Ιησούς είπε προς αυτόν, Ημέτερος είσαι ή των υπεναντίων ημών;
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 Ο δε είπεν, Ουχί· αλλ' εγώ Αρχιστράτηγος της δυνάμεως του Κυρίου τώρα ήλθον. Και έπεσεν ο Ιησούς επί την γην κατά πρόσωπον αυτού και προσεκύνησε, και είπε προς αυτόν, Τι προστάζει ο κύριός μου εις τον δούλον αυτού;
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 Και ο Αρχιστράτηγος της δυνάμεως του Κυρίου είπε προς τον Ιησούν, Λύσον το υπόδημά σου εκ των ποδών σου· διότι ο τόπος, επί του οποίου ίστασαι, είναι άγιος. Και ο Ιησούς έκαμεν ούτω.
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 …
