- 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.

- 约旦河西亚摩利人的诸王和靠海迦南人的诸王,听见耶和华在以色列人前面使约旦河的水乾了,等到我们过去,他们的心因以色列人的缘故就消化了,不再有胆气。
- 那时,耶和华吩咐约书亚说,你制造火石刀,第二次给以色列人行割礼。
- 约书亚就制造了火石刀,在除皮山那里给以色列人行割礼。
- 约书亚行割礼的缘故,是因为从埃及出来的众民,就是一切能打仗的男丁,出了埃及以后,都死在旷野的路上。
- 因为出来的众民都受过割礼。惟独出埃及以后,在旷野的路上所生的众民都没有受过割礼。
