Joshua 5

¹ Now when all the Amorite kings west of the Jordan and all the Canaanite kings along the coast heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts melted and their spirits failed for fear of the Israelites.

² At that time the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel once again.”

³ So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.
