ગુજરાતીયહોશુઆ ૫:૪
અને યહોશુઆએ તેઓની સુન્નત કરી તેનું કારણ આ હતું કે, જે પુરુષો મિસરમાંથી બહાર આવ્યા હતા ત્યારે જેઓની સુન્નત કરાયેલી હતી તેઓ એટલે કે યુદ્ધ કરનારા બધા પુરુષો અરણ્યના રસ્તે મરણ પામ્યા હતા.
हिन्दीयहोशू ५:४
और यहोशू ने जो खतना कराया, इसका कारण यह है, कि जितने युद्ध के योग्य पुरुष मिस्र से निकले थे वे सब मिस्र से निकलने पर जंगल के मार्ग में मर गए थे।

In context

2At that time, the LORD said to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”

3Joshua made himself flint knives, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

4This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt.

5For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

6For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.
