Joshua 5:2-4

International Children’s Bible

The Israelites Are Circumcised

² At that time the Lord spoke to Joshua. He said, “Make knives from flint stones. Circumcise the Israelites again.” ³ So Joshua made knives from flint stones. Then he circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath Haaraloth.

⁴ This is why Joshua circumcised the men: After the Israelites left Egypt, all the men old enough to serve in the army died. They died in the desert on the way out of Egypt.
