Hebrew “mul.” Circumcising the flesh of their foreskin. Referring to cutting off a part of the foreskin of the penis. This is forbidden in the Jewish Torah, Leviticus 19:28 which reads in part, “Do not make incisions or cuts in your bodies for the soul…” Circumcision was done not as a part of the covenant, but as a reminder that one's heart should be circumcised. What God wants from us, men and women, is a circumcised heart.
