JOSHUA 5:2-6:1


2 At that time YAHUVEH said to Yahoshua, Make for yourself flint knives, and again circumcise the sons of Israel, the second time.
3 And Yahoshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 And this is the reason Yahoshua circumcised: All the people who had come out of Egypt, who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness, in the way, as they came out of Egypt.
5 For all the people who had come out were circumcised. And all the people who were born in the wilderness, in the way, as they came out from Egypt, had not been circumcised.
6 For the sons of Israel had walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the men of war who had come out of Egypt were consumed, those who did not listen to the voice of YAHUVEH, to whom YAHUVEH had sworn to them not to show them the land which YAHUVEH swore to their fathers, to give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey; these were consumed.
7 And He raised their sons up in their place. Yahoshua circumcised them, for they had been uncircumcised; for they had not been circumcised in the way.
8 And it happened, when all the nation had finished being circumcised, they remained in their places in the camp until they revived.
9 And YAHUVEH said to Yahoshua, Today I have rolled the reproach of Egypt off of you. And he called the name of that place Gilgal2 to this day.
10 And the sons of Israel camped in Gilgal, and prepared the Passover in the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the plains of Jericho.
11 And they ate the old grain of the land on the next day after the Passover, unleavened bread and roasted grain, in this same day.
12 And the manna ceased on the next day after they ate of the old grain of the land. And there was no more manna to the sons of Israel, but they ate the produce of the land of Canaan in that year.
13 And it happened, when Yahoshua was beside Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked. And, behold! A Man stood in front of him, and His drawn sword was in His hand. And Yahoshua went to Him and said to Him, Are You for us, or for our foes?
14 And He said, No, for I now come as the Captain of the army of YAHUVEH. And Yahoshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped. And he said to Him, What does my Master speak to His slave?
15 And the Captain of the army of YAHUVEH said to Yahoshua, Take your shoe off your foot, for the place on which you are standing is holy. And Yahoshua did so.

1 And Jericho was closed, and was shut in from the face of the sons of Israel; no one going out, and no one coming in..

JOHN 19:31-20:1

31 Then, since it was Preparation, that the bodies not remain on the tree on the Sabbath, for that Sabbath was a holy day, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and they be taken away.
32 Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other crucified with Him.
33 But on coming to YAHUSHUA, when they saw He was dead already, they did not break His legs.
34 But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and at once blood and water came out.
35 And the one seeing has borne witness and his witness is true; and that one knows that he speaks truly, that you may believe.
36 For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "Not a bone of Him shall be broken."
37 And again, a different Scripture says, "They shall look at Him whom they have pierced."
38 And after these things, Joseph from Arimathea, being a disciple of YAHUSHUA, but concealed because of fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take the body of YAHUSHUA. And Pilate gave permission. Then he came and took the body of YAHUSHUA.
39 And Nicodemus also came, the one coming at first to YAHUSHUA by night, bearing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about one hundred Roman pounds.
40 Then they took the body of YAHUSHUA and bound it in linens, with the spices, as is usual with the Jews in burying.
41 And there was a garden in the place where He was crucified, and a new tomb in the garden, in which no one yet ever had been placed.
42 There, then, because of the Jews Preparation day, because the tomb was near, they put YAHUSHUA.

*~ JOHN Chapter 20 ~*


1 But on the first of the Sabbaths, Mariam Magdalene came early to the tomb, darkness yet being on it. And she saw the stone had been removed from the tomb.
