And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and you. “Ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin,” signifies the removal of the love of self and of the world; “and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and you,” signifies a representative and significative of purity.
