Joshua 5:2-9

Great(i) 2 That same tyme the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: Make the sharpe knyues (of stone) & goo to agayne and circumcise the children of Israel the seconde tyme. 3 And Iosua made him sharpe knyues (of stone) & circuncised the children of Israel in the place called the hille of the foreskynnes. 4 And this is the cause why Iosua circucised all the people that came out of Egipte: Namely such as were males because that all the men of warre, died in the wildernes by the waye, after they came out of Egypte. 5 For all the people that came out were circumcised. But all the people that were borne in the wildernesse by the waye after they came out of Egypte, were not circumcised. 6 For the children of Israel walked fourty yeres in the wildernesse, tyll all the people of the men of warre that came out of Egipte were consumed, because they harkened not vnto the voyce of the Lorde. Wherfore the Lorde sware, that he wolde not shewe them the land which the Lord sware vnto theyr fathers, that he wolde geue vs, euen a lande that floweth wyth milke & honye. 7 And their children whom he sett vp in their stead: them Iosua circumcised: for they were vncircumcised, because they circumcised them not by the waye. 8 And when they had circumcised all the people, they abode styll together in the hoste till they were whole. 9 And the Lorde sayde vnto Iosua: this daye I haue taken awaye the shame of Egipte from you: wherfore the name of the same place is called Gilgal vnto this daye.
