2107. 'When he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin' means when the evils occupying the External Man were totally driven out. This is clear from the meaning of 'being circumcised' as being purified from self-love and love of the world, or what amounts to the same, being purified from evils, for those loves are the source of all evils, a matter dealt with above in 2039, 2041, 2053, 2057. And that the Lord drove out evils by His own power, and in so doing made the Human Essence Divine, has been shown in many places in Volume One, as well as in 2025 above.
