New Life Version
Joshua 5:1-3
New Life Version
5 All the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings by the sea heard how the Lord had dried up the water of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed. And their hearts became weak. There was no spirit in them any more because of the people of Israel.
2 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Make knives for yourselves out of hard stone. And cut the piece of skin from the sex part of the sons of Israel as before.” 3 So Joshua made knives of hard stone. Then he had the sons of Israel go through this religious act at Gibeath-haaraloth.
