Joshua 5:4-9

4ThisH2088 is the reasonH1697 whyH834 JoshuaH3091 circumcisedH4135 them: 1allH3605 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. 5For allH3605 the peopleH5971 who cameH3318 out were circumcisedH4135, but allH3605 the peopleH5971 who were bornH3209 in the wildernessH4057 along the wayH1870 as they cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714 had not been circumcisedH4135. 6For the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 2fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, untilH5704 allH3605 the nationH1471, that is, the menH376 of warH4421 who cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714, 3perishedH8552 becauseH834 they did not listenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068, 4to whomH834 the LordH3068 had swornH7650 that He would not let them seeH7200 the landH776 whichH834 the LordH3068 had swornH7650 to their fathersH1 to giveH5414 us, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 7Their childrenH1121 whom He raisedH6965 up in their placeH8478, JoshuaH3091 5circumcisedH4135; for they were uncircumcisedH6189, becauseH3588 they had not circumcisedH4135 them along the wayH1870.

8Now whenH3512 they had finishedH8552 circumcisingH4135 allH3605 the nationH1471, they remainedH3427 in their placesH8478 in the campH4264 untilH5704 they were 6healedH2421. 9Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “TodayH3117 I have rolledH1556 awayH1556 7the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from you.” So the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 is calledH7121 8GilgalH1537 to thisH2088 dayH3117.
