Joshua 05 General Notes
Special concepts in this chapter
Circumcision
It would have been very unusual to be circumcised in a time of war. When men are circumcised they are unable to move without pain or to defend themselves in battle for several days. (See: rc://en/tw/dict/bible/kt/circumcise)
Manna
Yahweh stops providing manna in this chapter and will no longer provide them with their daily allotment of food. This does not mean Yahweh's care and provision will stop.
