Joshua 5:2-9

2At that timeH6256 YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, MakeH6213 thee sharpH6697 knivesH2719, and circumciseH4135 againH7725 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the second timeH8145.1 3And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 him sharpH6697 knivesH2719, and circumcisedH4135 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 at the hillH1389 of the foreskinsH6190.23 4And this is the causeH1697 why JoshuaH3091 did circumciseH4135: All the peopleH5971 that came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, that were malesH2145, even all the menH582 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870, after they came outH3318 of EgyptH4714. 5NowH3588 all the peopleH5971 that came outH3318 were circumcisedH4135: but all the peopleH5971 that were bornH3209 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 as they came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, them they had not circumcisedH4135. 6For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, till all the peopleH1471 that were menH582 of warH4421, which came outH3318 of EgyptH4714, were consumedH8552, because they obeyedH8085 not the voiceH6963 of YhwhH3068: unto whom YhwhH3068 swareH7650 that he would not shewH7200 them the landH776, which YhwhH3068 swareH7650 unto their fathersH1 that he would giveH5414 us, a landH776 that flowethH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706. 7And their childrenH1121, whom he raised upH6965 in their stead, them JoshuaH3091 circumcisedH4135: for they were uncircumcisedH6189, because they had not circumcisedH4135 them by the wayH1870. 8And it came to pass, when they had doneH8552 circumcisingH4135 all the peopleH1471, that they abodeH3427 in their places in the campH4264, till they were wholeH2421.4 9And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 have I rolled awayH1556 the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from off you. Wherefore the nameH8034 of the placeH4725 is calledH7121 GilgalH1537 unto this dayH3117.5
