"all these had been circumcised. But the people who were born in the desert, "
— Joshua 5:5, Catholic Public Domain Version
“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.”
“For 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, they had not circumcised. ”
“For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness by the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.”
“Now all the men who left were circumcised, but all the sons born on the journey through the wilderness after they left Egypt were uncircumcised.”
“Now these were all circumcised. But the people that were born in the desert,”
“All the people who came out had undergone circumcision; but all the people whose birth had taken place in the waste land on their journey from Egypt had not.”
“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.”
So at that time, the Lord said to Joshua: “Make for yourself knives of stone, and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.”
He did what the Lord had commanded, and he circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Now this is the reason for the second circumcision: All the people who departed from Egypt of the male gender, all the men fit for war, died in the desert during the very long wandering way;
all these had been circumcised. But the people who were born in the desert,
throughout the forty years of the journey in the very broad wilderness, were uncircumcised, until the ones who had not listened to the voice of the Lord were consumed. For he had sworn to them before, that he would not reveal to them the land flowing with milk and honey.
The sons of these ones succeeded to the place of their fathers, and they were circumcised by Joshua. For they were uncircumcised, just as they had been born, and no one had circumcised them along the way.
Then, after they were all circumcised, they remained in the same place of the camp until they were healed.
