Roth translates in the AENT "circumcised in the flesh",
Please advise me as to what Aramaic term is used here to designate circumcision and is it the most correct and pointed term in the Aramaic for denoting circumcision. Is it a direct cognate with the Hebrew for this procedure.
thank you
Hi Carvston,
Totally different phrase here. Psq bsra (mutilation of the flesh). The formal term for biblical circumcision is gzrtha.
