Joshua 5:2-9
Legacy Standard Bible
2 At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make for yourself (A)flint knives and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.” 3 So Joshua made himself flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at [a]Gibeath-haaraloth. 4 Now this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: (B)all the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way when they came out of Egypt. 5 For all the people who came out were circumcised, but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised. 6 For the sons of Israel had walked (C)forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, were completely destroyed because they did not listen to the voice of Yahweh, (D)to whom Yahweh had sworn that He would not let them see the land which Yahweh had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey. 7 And their sons whom He raised up in their place, Joshua [b]circumcised; for they were uncircumcised because they had not circumcised them along the way.
8 Now it happened that when they had completed circumcising all the nation, they remained in their places in the camp until they were [c]healed. 9 Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away (E)the reproach of Egypt from you.” So the name of that place is called [d]Gilgal to this day.

Joshua 5:2-9
Holman Christian Standard Bible
2 At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelite men again.”(A) 3 So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelite men at Gibeath-haaraloth.[a] 4 This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males—all the men of war—had died in the wilderness along the way after they had come out of Egypt. 5 Though all the people who came out were circumcised, none of the people born in the wilderness along the way were circumcised after they had come out of Egypt. 6 For the Israelites wandered in the wilderness 40 years until all the nation’s men of war who came out of Egypt had died off because they did not obey the Lord.(B) So the Lord vowed never to let them see the land He had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.(C) 7 Joshua raised up their sons in their place; it was these he circumcised. They were still uncircumcised, since they had not been circumcised along the way. 8 After the entire nation had been circumcised, they stayed where they were in the camp until they recovered.(D) 9 The Lord then said to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the disgrace of Egypt from you.” Therefore, that place is called Gilgal[b] to this day.(E)
