27
And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him.
Genesis 17:27
Arcana Coelestia #2234
2234. That 'the way' means doctrine is clear from the meaning of 'a way'. 'A way' in the Word is used in reference to truths, because truths lead to good and go forth from good, as is made clear from the places quoted in Volume One, in 627. And because a way is used in reference to truths, 'a way' is doctrine since doctrine taken as a whole embraces all those things which lead to good, that is, to charity.
