2110. When he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. That this signifies purification, is evident from the signification of “being circumcised,” as being to be purified from the loves of self and of the world (see n. 2039); and from the signification of “circumcising the flesh of the foreskin,” as being the removal of those loves (n. 2041, 2053, 2057).
