Joshua 5:2-4

2At that timeH6256 the LordH3068 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “MakeH6213 for yourself 1flintH6864 knivesH2719 and circumciseH4135 againH7725 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 the secondH8145 timeH8145.”

3So JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 himself flintH6864 knivesH2719 and circumcisedH4135 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 at 2Gibeath-haaralothH1389H6190.

4ThisH2088 is the reasonH1697 whyH834 JoshuaH3091 circumcisedH4135 them: 3allH3605 the peopleH5971 who cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714 who were malesH2145, allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 along the wayH1870 after they cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714.
