- And it came to pass, when all the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea, heard that the LORD had dried up the waters of Jordan from before the children of Israel, until we were passed over, that their heart melted, neither was there spirit in them any more, because of the children of Israel.
- At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
- And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
- And this is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.
- Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, them they had not circumcised.

- 約但河西亞摩利人的諸王、和靠海迦南人的諸王、聽見耶和華在以色列人前面使約但河的水乾了、等到我們過去、他們的心因以色列人的緣故就消化了、不再有膽氣。
- 那時耶和華吩咐約書亞說、你製造火石刀、第二次給以色列人行割禮。
- 約書亞就製造了火石刀、在除皮山那裡給以色列人行割禮。
- 約書亞行割禮的緣故、是因為從埃及出來的眾民、就是一切能打仗的男丁、出了埃及以後、都死在曠野的路上。
- 因為出來的眾民都受過割禮.惟獨出埃及以後、在曠野的路上所生的眾民、都沒有受過割禮。
