See 4059 (peritemnō). The sign of physical circumcision relates to the Seed, the Messiah (the Christ) – the one prophesied to incarnate through the physical line of David (the tribe of Judah).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent of περιτομή is מוּל (muwl), Strong's Hebrew 4135, which also refers to the act of circumcision. Another related term is בְּרִית (berith), Strong's Hebrew 1285, meaning "covenant," which is often associated with the practice of circumcision as a sign of the covenant. Usage: The term περιτομή is used in the New Testament to refer both to the physical act of circumcision, a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham's descendants, and to the spiritual concept of being set apart or purified in heart. It appears in various contexts, including discussions of Jewish law, identity, and the new covenant in Christ. Context: The term περιτομή (peritomē) is a significant concept in both the Old and New Testaments. In the Jewish tradition, circumcision was instituted by God as a sign of the covenant with Abraham (Genesis 17:10-14). It was a physical mark that distinguished the Israelites from other nations and was a requirement for participation in the religious and communal life of Israel.
