Joshua 5:2-9

2At that time the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, MakeH6213 thee knivesH2719 of flintH6697, and circumciseH4135 againH7725 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 the secondH8145 time.

3And JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 him knivesH2719 of flintH6697, and circumcisedH4135 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 at the hillH1389 of the foreskinsH6190.

4And this is the causeH1697 whyH834 JoshuaH3091 didH834 circumciseH4135: allH3605 the peopleH5971 that cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, that were malesH2145, evenH4714 allH3605 the menH376 of warH4421, diedH4191 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870, afterH3318 they cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714.

5For allH3605 the peopleH5971 that cameH1961 outH3318 were circumcisedH4135: but allH3605 the peopleH5971 that were bornH3209 in the wildernessH4057 by the wayH1870 as they cameH1961 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, they had notH3808 circumcisedH4135.

6For the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 walkedH1980 fortyH705 yearsH8141 in the wildernessH4057, tillH5704 allH3605 the nationH1471, evenH5704 the menH376 of warH4421 whichH834 cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, were consumedH8552, becauseH3588 they hearkened notH3808 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068: unto whomH834 the LORDH3068 sware that he would notH3808 letH5414 them seeH7200 the landH776 whichH834 the LORDH3068 sware unto their fathersH1 that he would giveH5414 usH5414, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.

7And their childrenH1121, whom he raisedH6965 upH6965 in their steadH8478, them didH3808 JoshuaH3091 circumciseH4135: for they were uncircumcisedH6189, becauseH3588 they had notH3808 circumcisedH4135 them by the wayH1870.

8And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when they had doneH1961 circumcisingH4135 allH3605 the nationH1471, that they abodeH3427 in their placesH8478 in the campH4264, tillH5704 they were wholeH3605.

9And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, This dayH3117 have I rolledH1556 awayH1556 the reproachH2781 of EgyptH4714 from offH5921 youH5921. Wherefore the nameH8034 of that placeH4725 was calledH7121 GilgalH1537, unto this dayH3117.
