Joshua 5:1-3

New American Standard Bible

Israel Is Circumcised

5 Now it came about when all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the ^(A)Canaanites who were by the sea, ^(B)heard how the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel until ^[a]they had crossed, that their hearts melted, and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the sons of Israel.

² At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make for yourself ^(C)flint knives and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.” ³ So Joshua made himself flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at ^[b]Gibeath-haaraloth.
