Joshua 5:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ Now Joshua circumcised their sons, who had taken their place. Their fathers had not circumcised them while they travelled in the desert.

⁸ All of the Israelite men were circumcised. Then they stayed there in Gilgal until they were strong again. ⁹ The Lord said to Joshua, ‘This shows that you are no longer ashamed to be slaves, as you were in Egypt. Today I have taken away your shame.’

So they called that place Gilgal, and it still has that name.^[a]
