2113. Verse 27. And all the men of his house, he that was born in the house, and he that was bought with silver, from the son that is a stranger, were circumcised with him. “All the men of his house, he that was born in the house, and he that was bought with silver,” signifies all those who are within the church; “from the son that is a stranger,” signifies all who are rational outside the church; “were circumcised by him,” signifies that they were justified by the Lord.
