Joshua 5:6-8

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁶ For the Israelites walked forty years in the wilderness till all who were men of war who came out of Egypt perished, because they did not hearken to the voice of the Lord; to them the Lord swore that He would not let them see the land which the Lord swore to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁷ So it was their uncircumcised children whom He raised up in their stead whom Joshua circumcised, because the rite had not been performed on the way.

⁸ When they finished circumcising all the males of the nation, they remained in their places in the camp till they were healed.
