And this [is] the cause
<01697>

why Joshua
<03091>

did circumcise
<04135> (8804)_:

All the people
<05971>

that came out
<03318> (8802)

of Egypt
<04714>_,

[that were] males
<02145>_,

[even] all the men
<0582>

of war
<04421>_,

died
<04191> (8804)

in the wilderness
<04057>

by the way
<01870>_,

after they came out
<03318> (8800)

of Egypt
<04714>_.

And the other
<0428>

issued out
<03318> (8804)

of the city
<05892>

against
<07125> (8800)

them; so they were in the midst
<08432>

of Israel
<03478>_,

some on this side, and some on that side: and they smote
<05221> (8686)

them, so that
<05704>

they let
<07604> (8689)

none of them remain
<08300>

or escape
<06412>_.

And Joshua
<03091>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, Fear
<03372> (8799)

not, nor be dismayed
<02865> (8735)_,

be strong
<02388> (8798)

and of good courage
<0553> (8798)_:

for thus shall the LORD
<03068>

do
<06213> (8799)

to all your enemies
<0341> (8802)

against whom ye fight
<03898> (8737)_.
