621 | Hebrew הִמּ֧וֹל יִמּ֛וֹל. Being circumcised he is being circumcised. Like “dying you are dying” in Genesis 2:16. |
622 | in the flesh of yourselves. This is speaking to the flesh of foreskin just mentioned in verse 11. A variety of hidden truths converge here. A covenant as we learned in Genesis 15:8, is something cut off. A corporate body of builders of light—exalted, holy ones—and thus the feminine foreskin. |
