Joshua 5:2-9

2At thatH1931 timeH6256 the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 JoshuaH3091, “MakeH6213 flintH6697 knivesH2719 and circumciseH4135 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 once againH7725H8145.1” 3So JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 flintH6697 knivesH2719 and circumcisedH4135 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 atH413 Gibeath-haaralothH1389H6190.2

4Now thisH2088 is whyH1697 JoshuaH3091 circumcised themH4135: AllH3605 thoseH5971 who came outH3318 of EgyptH4714—allH3605 the menH582 of warH4421—had diedH4191 on the journeyH1870 in the wildernessH4057 after they had leftH3318 EgyptH4714. 5ThoughH3588 allH3605H5971 who had come outH3318 wereH1961 circumcisedH4135, noneH3605H3808 of thoseH5971 bornH3209 in the wildernessH4057 on the journeyH1870 from EgyptH3318H4714 had been circumcisedH4135.

6ForH3588 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 had wanderedH1980 in the wildernessH4057 fortyH705 yearsH8141, untilH5704 allH3605 the nation’sH1471 menH582 of warH4421 who had come outH3318 of EgyptH4714 had diedH8552, sinceH834 they did notH3808 obeyH8085H6963 the LORDH3068. SoH834 the LORDH3068 vowedH7650 neverH1115 to let them seeH7200 the landH776 HeH3068 had swornH7650 to their fathersH1 to giveH5414 us, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 7AndH853 He raised upH6965 their sonsH1121 in their placeH8478, and these were the onesH853 JoshuaH3091 circumcisedH4135. Until this time they wereH1961H3588 still uncircumcisedH6189, sinceH3588 they had notH3808 been circumcisedH4135 along the wayH1870.

8AndH1961 afterH834H8552 allH3605 the nationH1471 had been circumcisedH4135, they stayedH3427 thereH8478 in the campH4264 untilH5704 they were healedH2421.

9Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 JoshuaH3091, “TodayH3117 I have rolled awayH1556 the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from youH5921.” So thatH1931 placeH4725 has been calledH7121H8034 GilgalH15373 toH5704 thisH2088 dayH3117.
