So Joshua made flint knives and circumcised Bnei-Yisrael at Gibeath-ha-araloth.
But Zipporah took a flint, cut off the foreskin of her son, and threw it at his feet, saying, “You are surely a bridegroom of blood to me.”
Then Yeshua said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to follow after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me.
At that time Adonai said to Joshua, “Make yourself flint knives and circumcise again Bnei-Yisrael a second time.”
Now this is the reason why Joshua circumcised: all the people that came out of Egypt who were males—all the men of war—had died in the wilderness along the way after they came out of Egypt.
