Joshua 5:1-2

English Standard Version

The New Generation Circumcised

5 As soon as all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites ^(A)who were by the sea, ^(B)heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan for the people of Israel until they had crossed over, their hearts ^(C)melted and ^(D)there was no longer any spirit in them because of the people of Israel.

² At that time the Lord said to Joshua, “Make ^(E)flint knives and circumcise the sons of Israel a second time.”
