2055. Verse 14. And the uncircumcised male, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his peoples; he hath made vain My covenant. “The uncircumcised male,” signifies one who is not in the truth of faith; “who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin,” signifies who is in the love of self and of the world; “that soul shall be cut off from his peoples,” signifies eternal death; “he hath made vain My covenant,” signifies that he cannot be conjoined.
