Strong's Lexicon peritemnó: To circumcise Original Word: περιτέμνω Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: peritemnó Pronunciation: peh-ree-TEM-no Phonetic Spelling: (per-ee-tem'-no) Definition: To circumcise Meaning: I cut around, circumcise. Word Origin: From the Greek words "peri" (around) and "temnó" (to cut) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H4135 (מוּל, mul): To circumcise - H5243 (נָמַל, namal): To circumcise, to cut off Usage: The verb "peritemnó" refers to the act of circumcision, a physical procedure involving the cutting away of the foreskin. In the New Testament, it is used both in a literal sense, referring to the Jewish practice of circumcision, and metaphorically, to describe spiritual purification or dedication to God. Cultural and Historical Background: Circumcision was a significant religious and cultural practice for the Jewish people, instituted by God as a sign of the covenant with Abraham (Genesis 17:10-14). It was a physical mark of identity and belonging to the people of Israel. In the New Testament era, circumcision became a point of contention between Jewish and Gentile believers, as the early church grappled with the requirements of the Mosaic Law for Gentile converts. HELPS Word-studies 4059 peritémnō (from 4012 /perí, "all-around" and temnō, "cut off") – circumcise; (figuratively) cutting off the "old life," in favor of the new which is in Christ (the Seed).
