12
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.
Genesi 17:12
Arcana Coelestia #84
84. Verses 2-3. And on the seventh day God finished His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it; because that in it He rested from all His work which God in making created. The celestial man is the “seventh day” which, as the Lord has worked during the six days, is called “His work;” and as all combat then ceases, the Lord is said to “rest from all His work.” On this account the seventh day was sanctified, and called the Sabbath, from a Hebrew word meaning “rest.” And thus was man created, formed, and made. These things are very evident from the words.
