Verse 9 is found in chapter 5 of Joshua. Entering Canaan does not lead directly to battle, but to the renewal of the covenant sign through circumcision. The generation born during the wilderness period must physically assume Israel’s covenant identity. God declares that He has removed the "reproach of Egypt" from them, showing that the new territorial stage also involves spiritual and communal renewal. The conquest cannot be separated from covenant membership, which defines Israel as God’s people.
