The circumcision at the hill of the foreskins, and the name Gilgal

할례산에서 행한 할례와 길갈이라는 이름

Joshua 5:2–9: at that time the LORD says to Joshua, “Make flint knives, and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time.” Joshua makes himself flint knives and circumcises the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. The text says, “This is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the people who came out of Egypt, who were males, even all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way, after they came out of Egypt. For all the people who came out were circumcised; but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised. For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness until all the nation, even the men of war who came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice. The LORD swore to them that he wouldn’t let them see the land which the LORD swore to their fathers that he would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey. Their children, whom he raised up in their place, were circumcised by Joshua, for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them on the way.” When the whole nation has been circumcised, they stay in their places in the camp until they are healed. The LORD says to Joshua, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you.” The text goes on, “Therefore the name of that place was called Gilgal to this day.”
