And their children, whom he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.
Entonces Josué circuncidó a sus hijos, a quienes Dios había levantado para tomar el lugar de sus padres. Estos hijos no habían sido circuncidados porque sus padres no los habían circuncidado durante su viaje por el desierto.
Josué circuncidó a la nueva generación de israelitas que no había sido circuncidada durante los años en el desierto.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Joshua, after the Israelites crossed the Jordan River into the Promised Land, they needed to renew their covenant with God following 40 years of wandering in the wilderness. The previous generation had died due to their unbelief, and their children had not been circumcised during that time, as circumcision was a sign of God's covenant with Abraham established centuries earlier. So, Joshua performed the circumcision on the new generation to prepare them spiritually for the conquest ahead.
