여호수아 5:5-9 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 5:5

Now all the people that came out were circumcised. The Hebrew of this passage (which runs literally thus—"Now circumcised had they been, all the people who were going forth") is sufficient to refute the idea that there was a great circumcision of the people under Moses, on account of the neglect of the rile in Egypt. For, before the exodus, Moses was not in a position to perform any general act of this kind, as the history plainly shows, while after it such a rite could not have taken place,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 5:6

Till all the people. The Hebrew here is גוֹּי , not the usual word for people, but that usually applied to the Gentiles (equivalent to ἔθνος , by which word it is usually rendered in the LXX ). It is applied to the Israelites in Joshua 3:17 ; Joshua 4:1 ; Isaiah 1:4 ; Isaiah 9:2 ; Isaiah 26:2 . See also Exodus 33:13 . In the singular it means a people in the more general sense, a nation, as distinguished from a people in whom one has an interest. In the plural it... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 5:6-11

The Two Sacraments of the Old Covenant Circumcision and the passover were the two sacraments of the old covenant. The first set forth the truth that enrolment among the people of God must be accompanied with the putting away of evil. The second represented the past deliverance from the bondage of Egypt, and the future deliverance from all the perils of the wilderness by entrance into Canaan, and the final possession of the land of promise. On the eve of the decisive conflict, God commands... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 5:8

Till they were whole. Literally, till they revived, as in Genesis 20:7 ; 2 Kings 1:2 ; 2 Kings 8:8 . Objections have been raised (see Keil and Delitzsch in loc) to the possibility of this circumcision taking place in one day. But it has been shown by calculation that between one-third and one-fourth of the people who remained had been circumcised already, and that therefore such an operation as this could be performed with the utmost ease in a very short time. The word גוִו is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 5:9

The reproach of Egypt. Either Keil incorrectly states that" the genitive always denotes the person from whom the reproach comes" (see Isaiah 54:4 , "the reproach of thy widowhood," i.e; the reproach which is cast upon thee for being a widow; Ezekiel 36:30 , "reproach of famine," i.e; the reproach which comes from being doomed to suffer famine). If we accept HOMILETICS read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 5:9-10

Sacramental consecration of life. We may with advantage linger over the story of this chapter. It has lessons which will never die, and appeals which will never grow old. It is a testimony against a form of evil so common and so dangerous that all branches of the Church of Christ suffer from it. It brings before us the question of the neglect of sacraments, and the wisdom of repairing that neglect. To bring the chief points before us, observe first— I. WE ARE PRONE TO ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Joshua 5:4-7

Of the whole nation those only were already circumcised at the time of the passage of the Jordan who had been under twenty years of age at the time of the complaining and consequent rejection at Kadesh (compare the marginal reference). These would have been circumcised before they left Egypt, and there would still survive of them more than a quarter of a million of thirty-eight years old and upward.The statements of these verses are of a general kind. The “forty years” of Joshua 5:6 is a round... read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Joshua 5:8

The circumcision must have taken place on the day after the passage of Jordan, i. e. the 11th Nisan, and the Passover was kept on the 14th of the same month. For so long at least, they who had been circumcised would be disabled from war (compare the marginal reference), though they would not necessarily be debarred from keeping the feast. The submission of the people to the rite was a proof of faith, even though we remember that the panic of the Canaanites Joshua 5:1 would render any immediate... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Joshua 5:9

The reproach of Egypt - i. e. “reproach proceeding from Egypt.” The expression probably refers to taunts actually uttered by the Egyptians against Israel, because of their long wanderings in the desert and failures to acquire a settlement in Canaan (compare Exodus 32:12; Numbers 14:13-16; Deuteronomy 9:28; Deuteronomy 32:27). These reproaches were now to end, for they had actually entered Canaan, and the restoration of the covenant was a pledge from God to accomplish what was begun for them. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 5:5

Joshua 5:5. The people born in the wilderness they had not circumcised What occasioned this omission is not said, nor is it easy to determine whether it arose from negligence, or from God’s dispensing, for a time, with his ordinance, on account of the unsettledness of their state, and their frequent removes while they were in the wilderness, it being necessary for children, after they were circumcised, and thereby made sore, to rest some time. This latter reason has generally been... read more
