OET (OET-LV) And_he/it_made to_him/it Yəhōshūˊa knives_of flint(s) and_he_circumcised DOM the_people_of Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) to the_hill_of (the)_foreskins.

OET (OET-RV) So Yehoshua had flint knives made and the male Israelis were circumcised at a place they named ‘The hill of foreskins’.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:2–12 Joshua circumcised the men, and the Israelites observed Passover

Joshua circumcised the Israelite men, because they had not done this ceremony while they walked through the wilderness for forty years. Then the Israelites observed the Passover ceremony. They ate food from the land of Canaan, and God stopped sending them manna.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Circumcision of the next generation

Circumcision and the first Passover in the promised land

5:3a

So Joshua made flint knives

So Joshua made flint knives: It may be more natural in some languages not to repeat the information contained in the previous verse.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

So Joshua did so

Then Joshua made the knives

5:3b

and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth.

and circumcised the sons of Israel: The phrase the sons of Israel refers to the Israelite men who were not yet circumcised. Women were not circumcised.

at Gibeath-haaraloth: The phrase Gibeath-haaraloth is a Hebrew phrase meaning “hill of the foreskins.” It may be better to translate the meaning of this phrase. For example:

Circumcision Hill (GNT)

the hill of the foreskins (KJV)

If you transliterate the phrase Gibeath-haaraloth, a footnote may be helpful. Here is a sample footnote:

FOOTNOTE: Gibeath-haaraloth means “hill of the foreskins”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יָּ֨מָל֙

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made to=him/it Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) knives_of flint and,he_circumcised DOM sons_of Yisrael to/towards hill_of of_(the),foreskins )

There were over 600,000 males, so the author is using Joshua, who was in charge of this task, to represent the many people who were necessarily involved. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: [And he and other Israelite leaders circumcised]

Note 2 topic: translate-transliterate

גִּבְעַ֖ת הָ⁠עֲרָלֽוֹת

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_made to=him/it Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) knives_of flint and,he_circumcised DOM sons_of Yisrael to/towards hill_of of_(the),foreskins )

Gibeath Haaraloth is the name that the Israelites gave to the place where they held this second general circumcision ceremony. The name commemorates the Israelites rededicating themselves to Yahweh. In your translation you could spell it the way it sounds in your language, or you could use a word or phrase from your language that expresses the meaning of this name. Alternate translation: [the Hill of the Foreskins]
