Strong's Lexicon mul: To circumcise, to cut off Original Word: מוּל Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: muwl Pronunciation: mool Phonetic Spelling: (mool) Definition: To circumcise, to cut off Meaning: to cut short, curtail, to blunt, to destroy Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4059 (περιτέμνω, peritemnō) - to circumcise - G4061 (περιτομή, peritomē) - circumcision Usage: The Hebrew verb "mul" primarily means "to circumcise." It is used in the context of the physical act of circumcision, which is the cutting away of the foreskin. This act is a significant religious and cultural practice in the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing the covenant between God and Abraham's descendants. The term can also imply the broader concept of cutting or removing something. Cultural and Historical Background: Circumcision is a critical rite in Jewish tradition, 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. The practice was typically performed on the eighth day after a male child's birth. In the ancient Near Eastern context, circumcision was not unique to Israel, but its theological significance as a covenantal sign was distinct. It represented purity, dedication, and a commitment to God's laws.
