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.
