Joshua 5:2-10 NIV

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Joshua 5:7

Them Joshua circumcised; which God would have now done, 1. As a testimony of God’s reconciliation to the people, of which circumcision was a sign, and that God would not further impute their parents’ rebellions to them. 2. Because the great impediment of circumcision was now removed, to wit, their continued travels, and frequent and uncertain removal. 3. To prepare them for the approaching passover. 4. To distinguish them from the Canaanites, into whose land they were now come. 5. To ratify the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Joshua 5:8

Free from that pain and sore which circumcision caused, Genesis 34:25. It was indeed an act of great faith to expose themselves to so much pain and danger too in this place, where they were hemmed in by Jordan and their enemies; but they had many considerations to support their faith, and suppress their fears: the fresh experience of God’s power and readiness to work miracles for their preservation; the great consternation of all their enemies, which they might observe and rationally presume;... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Joshua 5:9

The reproach of Egypt, i.e. uncircumcision, which was both in truth, and in the opinion of the Jews, a matter of great reproach, Genesis 34:14; 1 Samuel 14:6; 1 Samuel 17:26. And although this was a reproach common to most nations of the world, yet it is particularly called the reproach of Egypt; either, 1. Because the other neighbouring nations, being the children of Abraham by the concubines, are supposed to have been circumcised, which the Egyptians at this time were not, as may be gathered... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Joshua 5:10

This was their third passover: the first was in Egypt, Exodus 12:0; the second at Mount Sinai, Numbers 9:0; the third here; for in their wilderness travels these and all other sacrifices were neglected, Amos 5:25. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 5:1-9

CRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 5:2. Sharp knives] Marg. “knives of flints” (cf. Exodus 4:25). The reason for using stone knives may have been more on account of legal than of physical considerations. The use of iron was certainly forbidden in some covenant rites (cf. Exodus 20:25; Deuteronomy 27:5; chap. Joshua 8:31). [“Among the additions of the LXX. at the end of this book is the curious statement after chap. Joshua 24:30 : ‘There they placed with him, in the tomb where they buried him the knives of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 5:10-12

CRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 5:10. Kept the passover] This was the third passover feast; the first was kept in Egypt, the second at Sinai (Numbers 9:5). The feast of the covenant could not be observed while the covenant itself was broken. MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Joshua 5:10-12THE FIRST PASSOVER IN THE PROMISED LANDSeveral events of deep interest are recorded in these three verses; probably there were others which happened about the same period, of scarcely less significance, of which no... read more

DISCOURSE: 246ISRAEL’S FIRST PROCEEDINGS IN CANAANJoshua 5:8-10. It came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole. And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day. And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.THERE... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Joshua 5:2

circumcision Circumcision is the "sign" of the Abrahamic Covenant Genesis 17:7-14; Romans 4:11. "The reproach of Egypt" was that, during the later years of the Egyptian bondage, this separating sign had been neglected (cf. Exodus 4:24-26 and this neglect had continued during the wilderness wanderings. The N.T. analogue is world conformity; the failure openly to take a believer's place with Christ in death and resurrection. ; Romans 6:2-11; Galatians 6:14-16. Spiritually it is mortifying the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joshua 5:1-15

Chapter 5Now in chapter five we read where all of the adult males were at this point circumcised. It was a rite that they did not follow while they were in the wilderness. So that those who were born in the wilderness, now were men, did not go through the rite of circumcision. But now that they are to enter into the land, the circumcision was always a type of the cutting away of the heart after the flesh. God wanted a people whose heart was after the Spirit. So it was a symbolic act. God said,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 5:1-15

Joshua 5:1 . The Amorites on the side of Jordan westward. This agrees with Numbers 13:29. The Amorites dwell in the mountains. Joshua 5:2 . Make thee sharp knives. Whet them, if of steel; but often they struck off flints, whose edges are very sharp. Infants were healed in three days, but great soreness followed with men; they could not walk, as in Joshua 5:8. The place was afterwards called Gilgal; that is, rolling away of reproach. See more on Genesis 17:12. Joshua 5:12 . The manna... read more
