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.

My thoughts.
This showed that God's covenant would continue through them, God 's today is carried through Jesus and not circumcision.



Live a life for Jesus.

My thoughts.
Sometimes we need to rest even as we are serving the Lord by obedience.



Live a life for Jesus.

Good News Translation (GNT)

It's my recollection that the TEV was considered a paraphrase, rather than a translation when it was released. It was re-branded as the 'Good News Translation' in an effort to boost its reputation. It is easily read, but perhaps not as nuanced as some of the other versions available.

Joshua 5:9

King James Version (KJV)



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.



Joshua 5:9
Good News Translation (GNT)
9 The Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have removed from you the disgrace of being slaves in Egypt.” That is why the place was named Gilgal, the name it still has.

These are my thoughts.
When we have the Faith we will see His promises come true, just not every one of them and we should not forget His promises.



Live a life for Jesus.
