Bible Question: Why did Joshua circumcised the people of Israel a second time? |
Bible Answer: See Joshua5:2-9. Joshua circumcised the Israelites because it was God's command that it be done. Thus he obeyed. The boys who were born while the Israelites had wandered in the desert had not be previously circumcised. Also this act was a symbol of the Israelites recommitment to their God and to the covenant established by Him prior to entering the Promised Land. |
