Joshua 5:2-9 And at that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make thee stone knives of the hardest flint, and having again a fixed abode, circumcise the children of Israel.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ² And at that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make thee stone knives of the hardest flint, and having again a fixed abode, circumcise the children of Israel. ³ So Joshua made sharp knives of stone, and circumcised the children of Israel at the place called Hill of foreskins. ⁴ And in this manner Joshua purified the children of Israel; All who had been born on the way, and all who had formerly been uncircumcised, when they came out of Egypt, ⁵ all these Joshua circumcised; for Israel had been led about forty two years in the wilderness of Mabdaritis, therefore the most of them were uncircumcised, ⁶ being the children of those warriors who came out of the land of Egypt, who disobeyed the commands of God, and to whom he denounced, that they should not see the land which the Lord solemnly promised their fathers that he would give; a land flowing with milk and honey; ⁷ and instead of them he raised up these their children, whom Joshua circumcised, because, being born on the way, they were uncircumcised. ⁸ And being now circumcised, they were to continue there at rest, in the camp, until they were healed. ⁹ And the Lord said to Joshua son of Nave, This day I have taken away from you the reproach of Egypt. So he called the name of that place Galgala.
