Joshua 5:2-4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the people of Israel again the second time.” ³ So Joshua made flint knives, and circumcised the people of Israel at Gib′eath-ha-ar′aloth.^{[a] 4} And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt.
