And Joshua made himself sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.
Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and threw it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband are you to me.
Then said Jesus to his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
At that time the LORD said to Joshua, Make sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.
And this is the reason why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness on the way, after they came out of Egypt.
