જોકે મિસરમાંથી નીકળેલા પુરુષોની સુન્નત કરવામાં આવી હતી, પરંતુ મિસરમાંથી બહાર નીકળી અરણ્યના માર્ગમાં જે છોકરાઓ જનમ્યાં હતા તેઓની સુન્નત હજી સુધી કરાઈ ન હતી.
हिन्दीयहोशू ५:५
जो पुरुष मिस्र से निकले थे उन सब का तो खतना हो चुका था, परन्तु जितने उनके मिस्र से निकलने पर जंगल के मार्ग में उत्पन्न हुए उनमें से किसी का खतना न हुआ था।

In context

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.

7Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.
