UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וַ⁠יָּ֨מָל֙

and,circumcised

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 flint and,circumcised DOM sons_of Yisrael to/towards hill 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”
