Joshua 5:5-7

English Standard Version Anglicised

⁵ Though all the people who came out had been circumcised, yet all the people who were born on the way in the wilderness after they had come out of Egypt had not been circumcised. ⁶ For the people of Israel walked ^(A)forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished, because they did not obey the voice of the Lord; the Lord ^(B)swore to them that he would not let them see the land that the Lord had sworn to their fathers to give to us, ^(C)a land flowing with milk and honey. ⁷ So it was ^(D)their children, whom he raised up in their place, that Joshua circumcised. For they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
