1
And it came to passe when all the Kings of the Amorites which were on the side of Iordan Westward, and all the Kings of the Canaanites, which were by the Sea, heard that the Lord had dried vp the waters of Iordan from before the children of Israel, vntill we were passed ouer, 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 vnto Ioshua, Make thee sharpe kniues, and circumcise againe the children of Israel the second time.
3
And Ioshua made him sharpe kniues, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskinnes.
4
And this is the cause why Ioshua did circumcise: all the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, euen all the men of warre, died in the wildernes 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 borne in the wildernesse by the way, as they came foorth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.
6
For the children of Israel walked fourtie yeeres in the wildernesse, till all the people that were men of warre which came out of Egypt were consumed, because they obeyed not the voyce of the Lord, vnto whome the Lord sware that hee would not shew them the land which the Lord sware vnto their fathers, that he would giue vs, a land that floweth with milke & honie.
7
And their children, whom hee raised vp in their stead, them Ioshua circumcised, for they were vncircumcised: because they had not circumcised them by the way.
8
And it came to passe when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the campe, till they were whole.
9
And the Lord saide vnto Ioshua, This day haue I rolled away the reproch of Egypt from off you: Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal vnto this day.
10
¶ And the children of Israel incamped in Gilgal, and kept the Passeouer, on the fourteenth day of the moneth at euen, in the plaines of Iericho.
11
And they did eate of the olde corne of the land, on the morrow after the Passeouer, vnleauened cakes, and parched corne in the selfe same day.
12
¶ And the Manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the old corne of the land, neither had the children of Israel Manna any more, but they did eate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that yeere.
13
¶ And it came to passe when Ioshua was by Iericho, that he lift vp his eyes, and looked, and beholde, there stood a man ouer against him, with his sword dawen in his hand: and Ioshua went vnto him, and said vnto him, Art thou for vs, or for our aduersaries?
14
And he said, Nay, but as captaine of the hoste of the Lord am I now come. And Ioshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said vnto him, What saith my Lord vnto his seruant?
15
And the captaine of the Lords hoste said vnto Ioshua, Loose thy shooe from off thy foote, for the place whereon thou standest, is holy: And Ioshua did so.

Manna as food was only to sustain the Israelites. Because they could neither plant nor reap, due to the fact that they were on the move. But I want to believe that when they ate the produce of the Land of Canaan, God Almighty reintroduced his original principle Genesis 8:22, “As long as the earth remaineth seed time and harvest shall never cease.” They can now plant and reap; so God withheld Manna. Our God is the God of Principle.

Joshua showed a lot of confidence in his of duty and service. He was not dismayed by what was surrounding him but he hoped and longed for the Lord of host. And so should we do when people rise against us.

@Cheryl,
No, Joshua did not have just 1 foot. He had both his feet in perfect state. But the Bible say “the sole of your foot shall tread upon”, to simply mean everywhere you go. Because both feet do not tread on same ground, otherwise we would be jumping. But one foot treads a certain ground and the other another. So every ground each foot treads, that God gave Joshua, like He does with us also. And that is not to be taken literally only, it entails all life undertakings.
God bless you.

Thank you for your response, I am studying the book of Joshua, and I heard a Pastor said on Sunday that Joshua had 1 foot according to chapter 1:3. But the holy spirit had said to me to search out the chapter. Please share some insight. Thanks you so much.

This verse shows us how important it is to know the people we are surrounded by. Are they for us or against us? Joshua was sure who he was serving, are we? Don't be afraid to stand for The Lord. Verse 13
