Joshua 5:2-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

² At that time the Lord said to Joshua, ‘Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites a second time.’ ³ So Joshua made flint knives, and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath-haaraloth.^{[a] 4} This is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the warriors, had died during the journey through the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt.
