So Joshua made himself flint knives and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.
Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son’s foreskin and touched his feet with it, and she said, “You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me!”
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
At that time Yahweh said to Joshua, “Make for yourself flint knives and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.”
Now this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way when they came out of Egypt.
