Joshua 5:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
5 1 The Canaanites are afraid of the Israelites. 2 Circumcision is commanded the second time. 10 The passover is kept. 12 Manna ceaseth. 13 The Angel appeareth unto Joshua.
1 Now when all the Kings of the [a]Amorites, which were beyond Jordan Westward, and all the Kings of the Canaanites which were by the Sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of Jordan before the children of Israel until they were gone over, their hearts fainted: and there was no courage in them anymore because of the children of Israel.
2 ¶ That same time the Lord said unto Joshua, (A)Make thee sharp knives, [b]and return, and circumcise the sons of Israel the second time.
3 Then Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel in [c]the hill of the foreskins.
