All’età d’otto giorni, ogni maschio sarà circonciso fra voi, di generazione in generazione: tanto quello nato in casa, quanto quello comprato con danaro da qualsivoglia straniero e che non sia della tua progenie.

2106. Abraham was a son of ninety and nine years. That this signifies the state and time before the union of the Lord’s Divine Essence with His Human Essence, is evident from the signification of “ninety-nine years,” as being the time before the Lord fully conjoined the internal man with the rational (explained above, n. 1988). The Lord’s internal man, as already shown, was Jehovah Himself, that is, the Divine itself; which, when it was united to the Human, was united to the rational; for the human begins in the inmost of the rational, and extends itself thence to man’s external.
