Joshua 5:7-9
New King James Version
7 Then Joshua circumcised (A)their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.
8 So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp (B)till they were healed. 9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “This day I have rolled away (C)the reproach of Egypt from you.” Therefore the name of the place is called (D)Gilgal[a] to this day.

Joshua 5:7-9
New International Version
7 So he raised up their sons in their place, and these were the ones Joshua circumcised. They were still uncircumcised because they had not been circumcised on the way. 8 And after the whole nation had been circumcised, they remained where they were in camp until they were healed.(A)
9 Then the Lord said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” So the place has been called Gilgal[a](B) to this day.
