"The circumcision of the skin is said to be a symbol, indicating that it is proper to cut away all superfluous and extravagant desires, by studying continence and religion." - PHILO JUD., Works, Vol. IV. p. 451, Bohn.

“Circumcision, as we are told in 1 PETER iii. 21, represented the putting away of the filth of the flesh.' - A. JUKES, The Law of the Offerings, p. 15.
