Joshua 5:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ So Joshua made knives of flint, and he circumcised the Israelites^[a] at the hill of the foreskins.^{[b] 4} This is the reason why Joshua circumcised all the people: all the males who went out from Egypt, all the warriors, died in the wilderness as they went out from Egypt on the journey.^{[c] 5} For all the people who left were circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness on the journey^[d] after they left from Egypt were not circumcised.
