Joz 5, 1-15

1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel. 2 At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time. 3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 4 And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt. 5 Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised. 6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 7 And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way. 8 And 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. 9 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. 10 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. 11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day. 12 And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corn of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. 13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries? 14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the LORD am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant? 15 And the captain of the LORD's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

Verš 2

At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

Ex 4:25 - Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me.

Verš 11

And they did eat of the old corn of the land on the morrow after the passover, unleavened cakes, and parched corn in the selfsame day.

Ex 12:39 - And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.

Lv 2:14 - And if thou offer a meat offering of thy firstfruits unto the LORD, thou shalt offer for the meat offering of thy firstfruits green ears of corn dried by the fire, even corn beaten out of full ears.

Verš 10

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.

Ex 12:6 - And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

Verš 6

For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people that were men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

Nm 14:23 - Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

Verš 13

And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

Ex 23:23 - For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

Joz 5,1 - Pôvodné obyvateľstvo Palestíny je tu zadelené do dvoch skupín: 1. Emorejčania (Amorejčania), obývali prevažne horské kraje, a 2. Kanaánčania, ktorí boli usadení na nížinách a pri Mori, t. j. Stredozemnom, či Veľkom mori (Vg).

Joz 5,2 - Jozue z rozkazu Božieho znovu uvádza do života obriezku, ako vonkajšie znamenie zmluvy medzi Bohom a jeho ľudom.

Joz 5,3 - O užívaní kamenných nožov pri obriezke pozri Ex 4,25. Hoci v bežnom živote sa užívalo neskoršie kovových nožov, predsa pri tomto náboženskom úkone sa dlho držali nože kamenné. – Pahorok Aralot (= Predkožiek) je ten istý, ktorý vo v. 9 sa nazýva Galgala (Gilgál).

Joz 5,6 - "Krajina, ktorá oplýva mliekom a medom" – častý výraz v Písme sv. , ktorým chce len vyzdvihnúť pomerne väčšiu úrodnosť Palestíny v porovnaní s ostatnými krajinami. (Mlieko-bohaté pastviny pre stáda a dobytok; úrodné vinice so sladkým hroznom, z ktorého sa robí hroznový med debaš – arab. dibs.) Porov. tiež Ex 3,8.17; 13,5; 33,3; Lv 20,24; Nm 13,28a; 14,8; 16,13 n.; Dt 6,3; 11,9; 26,9.15; 27,3; 31,20; Jer 11,5; 32,22; Ez 20,6.15.

Joz 5,8 - Najväčšie bolesti po obriezkovej rane, spojené s horúčkou, dostavovali sa obyčajne na tretí deň (Gn 34,25). Po tejto hromadnej obriezke mohli Izraeliti celkom spokojne vyčkať vyhojenie v tábore, nebolo totiž odôvodnenej obavy, že by ich náhle prepadlo ustrašené domorodé obyvateľstvo (2,11.24; 5,1).

Joz 5,9 - Egyptská potupa – pod týmto termínom možno rozumieť egyptské otroctvo, z ktorého boli Izraeliti teraz definitívne vyslobodení, nakoľko už vkročili do zasľúbenej zeme a skrze právoplatnú obriezku sa stali zas vlastníctvom Božím. Táto myšlienka sa skrýva aj v pomenovaní miesta obriezky Galgala (hebr. Gilgál súvisí so slovesom galal ,váľať') – akoby ,odvalenie', t. j. egyptskej potupy.

Joz 5,10 - Podľa Ex 12,6 má sa sláviť Pascha (Veľká noc) dňa 14. nisana. Cez Jordán prešli do Galgaly 10. nisana a 14. nisana slávili Paschu.

Joz 5,16 - "Vodca Pánovho vojska" – Boží anjel, ktorý povzbudzoval Mojžiša z horiaceho kríka, teraz predstupuje pred Jozueho ako bojovník, aby ho po- vzbudil a dodal mu odvahy do nastávajúcich bojov.
