Yehoshua | Joshua

It happened that when all the Amorite kings who were on the western side of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings who were by the sea heard that Hashem had dried up the Jordan’s waters for the sake of the Children of Israel until they had crossed, their hearts melted, and there was no longer [any] spirit within them because of the Children of Israel.

1 And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, who were on the side of the Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan from before the children of Israel until they had passed over, that their heart melted, nor was there spirit in them anymore, because of the children of Israel.
2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make for yourself sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
3 And Joshua made for himself sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
4 And this is the reason why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, all the men of war, had died in the desert by the way after they came out of Egypt.
5 For 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, they had not circumcised.
6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the people, the men of war, that came out of Egypt, were consumed, those who did not listen to the voice of the Lord, to whom the Lord had sworn that He would not show them the land, which the Lord had sworn to their forefathers that He would give us, a land that flows with milk and honey.

11 And they ate of the grain of the land on the morrow of the Passover, unleavened cakes and parched grain on this very day.
12 And the manna ceased on the morrow when they ate of the grain of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna anymore; and they ate of the produce of the land of Canaan that year.
13 And it was when Joshua was in Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and saw, and, behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand; and Joshua went to him, and said to him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries?
14 And he said, No, but I am the captain of the host of the Lord; I have now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and prostrated himself, and said to him, What does my lord say to his servant?
15 And the captain of the Lord’s host said to Joshua, Remove your shoe from your foot; for the place upon which you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.

Obedience To G-d’s Commandments

Not believing in Jesus, and disregarding G-d’s commandments is the key to salvation.

*Note that you cannot do both. For believing in other god alone is a clear disobedience to G-d’s commandments.
