At lahat ng lalaking kasangbahay niya, maging ang mga ipinanganak sa bahay, at ang mga binili ng salapi sa taga ibang lupain, ay pinagtuling kasama niya.
Genesis 17:27
Arcana Coelestia #2042
2042. And it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and you. That this signifies a representative and significative of purity, is evident from what has been shown just above (n. 2039), namely, that circumcision was nothing but a representative of purification from filthy loves. And as it was only an external rite which represented and signified something internal, it was not a covenant, but a sign of a covenant.
