This term is used in the Old Testament to describe the covenantal practice initiated with Abraham and continued throughout Israel's history. Usage: The verb περιτέμνω is used in the New Testament to refer to the physical act of circumcision, as well as metaphorically to describe spiritual purification or the removal of sin. It appears in discussions about the Jewish law and its application to Gentile believers. Context: The term περιτέμνω is significant in the New Testament, particularly in the context of the early Church's debates over the necessity of circumcision for Gentile converts. Circumcision was a critical aspect of Jewish identity and religious practice, symbolizing the covenant between God and His people (Genesis 17:10-14). In the New Testament, περιτέμνω is used both literally and figuratively.
