    3So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the Israelites at Gibeath Haaraloth.

    4This is why Joshua circumcised them: All the men who came out of Egypt—all the warriors—had died in the wilderness on the way after leaving Egypt.

    5All those who came out had been circumcised, but those born in the wilderness during the journey from Egypt had not been.

    6The Israelites journeyed in the wilderness for forty years until all the warriors who had come out of Egypt died, because they did not obey the LORD. The LORD swore that He would not show them the land He had promised to their ancestors—a land flowing with milk and honey.

    7So 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.

    8After all the men had been circumcised, they remained in the camp until they were healed.

    9Then 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.
