Joshua 5:1-2

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

The New Generation Circumcised

5 When all the kings of the Amorites beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites by the sea, heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the Israelites until they had crossed over, their hearts failed, and there was no longer any spirit in them, because of the Israelites.

² At that time the Lord said to Joshua, ‘Make flint knives and circumcise the Israelites a second time.’
