# uncircumcision
|
|
|
|
Non-Jewish people were not circumcised as babies and thus the Jews considered them people who do not follow any of God's laws. Alternate translation: "uncircumcised pagans" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

|
# circumcision
|
|
|
|
This was another term for Jewish people because all male infants were circumcised. Alternate translation: "circumcised people" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])

# what is called the "circumcision" in the flesh made by human hands
