2042. 'And it will be a sign of the covenant between Me and you' means that which is a representative and a meaningful sign of purity. This is clear from what has been shown just above in 2039, to the effect that circumcision was no more than a representative of purification from filthy loves. And because it was merely an external religious ceremony that represented and meant what was internal it was not the covenant but a sign of the covenant.
