και θησομαι την διαθηκην μου ανα μεσον εμου και ανα μεσον σου και πληθυνω σε σφοδρα
Arcana Coelestia #2110
2110. 'When he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin' means purification. This is clear from the meaning of 'being circumcised' as being purified from self-love and the love of the world, dealt with in 2039, and from the meaning of 'flesh of the foreskin' as the removal of those loves, dealt with in 2041, 2053, 2057.
