Joshua 5:2-9

2At that timeH6256 Jehovah saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, MakeH6213 thee knives of flintH6697, and circumciseH4135 again the children of IsraelH3478 the secondH8145 timeH6256. 3And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 him knives of flintH6697, and circumcisedH4135 the children of IsraelH3478 at the hillH1389 of the foreskinsH6190. 4And this is the cause why JoshuaH3091 did circumciseH4135: all the peopleH5971 that cameH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, that were malesH2145, even all the menH376 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870, after they cameH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714. 5For all the peopleH5971 that came out wereH1961 circumcisedH4135; but all the peopleH5971 that wereH1961 born in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 as they came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, they had not circumcisedH4135. 6For the children of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, till all the nationH1471, even the menH376 of warH4421 that cameH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voiceH6963 of Jehovah: unto whom Jehovah sware that he would not let them seeH7200 the landH776 which Jehovah sware unto their fathersH1 that he would giveH5414 us, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 7And their children, whom he raisedH6965 up in their stead, them did JoshuaH3091 circumciseH4135: for they wereH1961 uncircumcisedH6189, because they had not circumcisedH4135 them by the wayH1870. 8And it came to pass, when they had done circumcisingH4135 all the nationH1471, that they abode in their placesH8478 in the campH4264, till they were whole. 9And Jehovah saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 have I rolledH1556 awayH1556 the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from off you. Wherefore the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 GilgalH1537, unto this dayH3117.
