Joshua 5:2-4
International Standard Version
A New Generation is Circumcised
2 At that time the Lord told Joshua, “Make for yourselves some flint knives and circumcise the Israelis who haven’t been circumcised yet.”[a]
3 So Joshua made some flint knives and circumcised the Israelis at Gibeath-haaraloth.[b] 4 Joshua circumcised them because all of the males among the people who came out of Egypt—that is, all the warriors—had died during their journey through the wilderness following their departure from Egypt.
