re: #51 Floral Giraffe
I think you two are getting stuck on the language, the use of the term ‘circumcision’.
Bris actually means ‘covenant’ (that’s closer, in English). The Torah also refers to—these are translated words, so here goes—circumcision of the lips and circumcision of the heart. I don’t have the Hebrew at my fingertips at the moment. Suffice it to say, long discussion.
