Lenten Saeson Study - Joshua 5:9-12

Joshua 5:9–12 highlights a significant moment of transformation and covenant renewal for the Israelites as they transition from the wilderness into the Promised Land. God uses the act of circumcision—a ritual that may seem painful and inconvenient—to symbolically cleanse them of the shame and legacy of their Egyptian bondage. When God says, “Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you” (verse 9), He proclaims that their past disgrace has been removed, marking them as a people set apart for His purposes.
