Joshua 5:1-2

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The New Generation Circumcised

5 When all the kings of the Amorites that were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites that were by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their heart melted, and there was no longer any spirit in them, because of the people of Israel.

² At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the people of Israel again the second time.”
