13
He who comes to birth in your house and he who is made yours for a price, all are to undergo circumcision; so that my agreement may be marked in your flesh, an agreement for all time.
Genesis 17:13
Arcana Coelestia # 2055
2055. Verse 14 And the uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul will be cut off from his peoples; he has broken My covenant.
'The uncircumcised male' means one who does not possess the truth of faith. 'Who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin' means one in whom self-love and love of the world reign. 'That soul will be cut off from his peoples' means eternal death. 'He has broken My covenant' means that he cannot be conjoined.
