The LORD swore that He would not show them the land He had promised to their ancestors—a land flowing with milk and honey. 7 So Joshua circumcised their sons, whom the LORD had raised up in their place. They were uncircumcised because they had not been circumcised on the journey. 8 After all the men had been circumcised, they remained in the camp until they were healed. 9 Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." So the place has been called Gilgal to this day.

  • Matt 23:1-9 : 1 Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, 2 saying, 'The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat of authority. 3 So do and observe whatever they tell you, but do not do as they do, for they say things but do not practice them. 4 They tie up heavy and unbearable burdens, and place them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to lift a finger to move them. 5 They do all their deeds to be seen by others. They make their phylacteries broad and their tassels long. 6 They love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues, 7 and greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by others. 8 But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9 And do not call anyone on earth your father, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10 Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Christ. 11 The greatest among you will be your servant. 12 Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. 13 But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor do you allow those entering to go in. 14 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You devour widows’ houses and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore, you will receive a greater condemnation. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a child of hell as you are. 16 Woe to you, blind guides! You say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.' 17 You fools and blind! Which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? 18 And you say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is obligated.' 19 You fools and blind! Which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? 20 Therefore, whoever swears by the altar swears by it and everything on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by the One who dwells in it. 22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it. 23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You tithe mint, dill, and cumin but have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy, and faithfulness. These you ought to have done without neglecting the others. 24 Blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel. 25 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and the dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. 26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the dish, so that the outside may also become clean. 27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which appear beautiful on the outside but inside are full of the bones of the dead and all impurity. 28 So too, on the outside you appear righteous to people, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. 29 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You build the tombs of the prophets and decorate the graves of the righteous, 30 and you say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partners with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.' 31 So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Fill up, then, the measure of your forefathers' sins! 33 You serpents, you brood of vipers! How can you escape being sentenced to hell? 34 Therefore, look, I am sending you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, 35 so that upon you will come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36 Truly, I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation. 37 Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you! How often I have wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! 38 Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again from now until you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!'
  • Rom 4:11 : 11 And he received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So that he might be the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness might also be credited to them,

    15However, we will agree to you on one condition: if you become like us by every male among you being circumcised.

    16Then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves; we will dwell among you and become one people.

    17But if you will not listen to us and get circumcised, we will take our daughter and leave.

    18Their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.

    19The young man did not delay in doing the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. Now he was the most respected of all his father’s household.

    20Hamor and his son Shechem went to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying:

    21"These men are at peace with us. Let them dwell in the land and trade in it, for the land is spacious enough for them. Let us take their daughters as wives, and let us give them our daughters.

    22Only on this condition will the men agree to live with us and become one people: every male among us must be circumcised, just as they are.

    23Won't their livestock, their property, and all their animals be ours? Only let us agree to them, and they will dwell with us."

    24All who went out of the gate of the city listened to Hamor and his son Shechem, and every male was circumcised—all who went out of the gate of the city.

    26They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword and took Dinah from Shechem's house and left.

    27The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and plundered the city because their sister had been defiled.
