But all the people that were born in the wilderness by the way after they came out of Egypt, they circumcised not. 6 For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people of men of war that came out of Egypt were consumed, which hearkened not unto the voice of God; so that the LORD sware, that he would not show them the land which the LORD sware unto their fathers, that he would give us even a land that floweth with milk and honey. 7 And their children he set up in their stead. Them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they circumcised them not by the way.
