The chapter begins with the kings of the Amorites and the Canaanites feeling defeated. How can you stop a people that are chosen by an incredible God.?
The next part is all I can call - PAIN! especially if you are a guy. I was very surprised to read that the act of circumcision was not carried out when the male child was born so that a whole nation had to do it before they proceeded. Not that they had sterile or machined honed knives - they had used knives made of flint! OUCH!. I wonder how long the healing process was.... Interesting about the name of Gilgal - "rolled". Didn't Jesus roll the stone away to show that He lived?
Also, the manna stopped and they ate off the land - awesome!
So many things going on today and tomorrow. Hope I can do it all.
