## Joshua 5:5-7 in Context (Verses 2–10 KJV)
 
 [2 ](/kjv/joshua/5/2) ¶ At that time the LORD said unto Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.*
 
 [3 ](/kjv/joshua/5/3) And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.**
 
 [4 ](/kjv/joshua/5/4) 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.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/joshua/5/5) 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.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/joshua/5/6) For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people *that were* men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: unto whom the LORD sware that he would not shew them the land, which the LORD sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
 
 [7 ](/kjv/joshua/5/7) And their children, *whom* he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
 
 [8 ](/kjv/joshua/5/8) And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/joshua/5/9) And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.*
 
 [10 ](/kjv/joshua/5/10) ¶ And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.
