He did what the Lord had commanded: and he circumcised the children of Israel in the hill of the foreskins.
Then Jesus said to his disciples: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Immediately Sephora took a very sharp stone, and circumcised the foreskin of her son, and touched his feet, and said: A bloody spouse art thou to me.
At that time the Lord said to Josue: Make thee knives of stone, and circumcise the second time the children of Israel.
Now this is the cause of the second circumcision: All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, all the men fit for war, died in the desert, during the time of the long going about in the way.
