2 - 12 Circumcision and Passover
The Lord tells Joshua to make flint knives and recircumcise the Israelites. This is done because all of the original circumcised warriors had died and they didn't circumcise the next generation on the road. After this is done, the Lord says, "Today I have rolled away from you the disgrace of Egypt." (The place is named Gilgal, which means "roll"). Then the Israelites then celebrate the Passover.
13 - 15 Joshua's Vision
Once when Joshua was by Jericho, he has a vision of the Commander of the Army of the Lord, who says, "Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place where you stand is holy." (Joshua does this).

Well, your summary is very good. This reminds me of the Veggie Tale of Joshua and the Big Wall. If you haven't seen it, do so. It's very accurate with some good humor and music.
QUESTION: How can the recircumcision apply to us today?
Thank heavens Paul was against recircumcision! Haven't seen the Veggie Tale version. I'll have to get it and watch it with Kathleen.
