Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מוּל (mûl), which means "to circumcise."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4061 (περιτομή, peritomē): This Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to circumcision. It carries both the literal meaning of the physical act and the metaphorical sense of spiritual purification and covenantal faithfulness. The Apostle Paul discusses circumcision extensively, particularly in his letters to the Romans and Galatians, where he emphasizes faith in Christ over the physical rite as the true mark of belonging to God's people. Usage: The word מוּלָה (mûlâ) is used in the context of the covenantal practice of circumcision, which was a significant religious and cultural rite for the Israelites. It symbolizes the covenant between God and Abraham's descendants, marking them as God's chosen people. Context: Circumcision, denoted by the Hebrew term מוּלָה (mûlâ), is a critical practice in the Hebrew Bible, first instituted in Genesis 17:10-14 as a sign of the covenant between God and Abraham. This rite was to be performed on every male descendant on the eighth day after birth. The practice of circumcision served as a physical reminder of the Israelites' unique relationship with God and their commitment to His laws and commandments. It was a distinguishing mark that set the Israelites apart from other nations and was a prerequisite for participation in certain religious activities and community life. The significance of circumcision extended beyond the physical act, symbolizing purity, obedience, and dedication to God. In the New Testament, the concept of circumcision is expanded upon, with an emphasis on the circumcision of the heart, representing inner spiritual transformation and faithfulness to God.
