Footnotes

  1. 4 Heb “and in.…”
  2. 5 This rendering, “the flesh of his foreskin,” is literal. Based on , one could argue that the Hebrew word for “flesh” here (בָּשָׂר, basar) is euphemistic for the male genitals and therefore translate “the foreskin of his member” (see, e.g., J. Milgrom, Leviticus [], 1:). A number of English versions omit this reference to the foreskin and mention only circumcision, presumably for euphemistic reasons (cf. , , , , ).
